Bradley on return to summit
Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley remains confident after his team defeated Waterford 3-2 to reclaim the top spot in the Premier Division. Despite recent pressure, Bradley emphasized the team's character and focus on their own performance rather than external competition.
Why it matters
The result significantly impacts the Irish Premier Division title race, highlighting the resilience of the reigning champions.
Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley insists he isn't feeling any pressure as his side came from behind twice to defeat Waterford 3-2 to return to the summit in a gripping Premier Division title race.
The reigning champions registered their first win in four matches to regain top spot at Tallaght Stadium , for 24 hours at least.
With Bohemians’ last-gasp win over Drogheda and St Pat's getting the better of the Hoops last week to close the gap, substitute John McGovern’s double inside five minutes eased some recent jitters while also ending Waterford’s 13-game unbeaten streak.
