"On the final day of last season, Shamrock Rovers were minutes away from an unprecedented fifth successive league title, but Harry Wood had other ideas. Shelbourne's 2024 triumph hurt the Hoops deeply, but this year Stephen Bradley's men have used that heartbreak as fuel to reclaim their title from the Reds and take it back to Tallaght Stadium - even if it's taken them a little longer than expected to complete the coronation."

On the final day of the previous season Shamrock Rovers stood minutes away from an unprecedented fifth successive league title until Harry Wood intervened. Shelbourne's 2024 triumph inflicted deep hurt on the Hoops. Stephen Bradley's squad used that heartbreak as motivation this year to reclaim the championship from the Reds and return the trophy to Tallaght Stadium. The title chase demanded extra time and patience, with the ultimate coronation arriving later than anticipated. The victory restores Shamrock Rovers' status at the top of the league and responds directly to the narrow loss suffered last season.
