It was Max Murphy who gave the visitors a leg up with an own goal before the break, leaving it 2-0 at half-time.

Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe found the back of the net for Boh's in the second half, however it was not enough to push the home side on.

Rovers responded immediately with a goal from Danny Mandroiu.

Despite getting a win this evening, Rovers still sit in second place behind Derry City.

Elsewhere, Eoin Doyle scored twice as St Patrick’s won 2-0 at home to Finn Harps.

Things got heated at Oriel Park, with Shelbourne manager Damien Duff getting a red card for the first time in his career.
