Kelly to officiate Dublin derby
Alan Kelly has been handed the responsibly of refereeing the first encounter of the league season between Bohemians and Shelbourne in Dalymount Park on Friday night. It is the first league encounter between the sides since November 17, 2006. That game saw Shelbourne win out by two goals to one and Kelly was also the ref on the night. The Cork born official sent Richie Baker off in that game, which proved to be Shels last in the Premier Division for over five years.
