Lee Grace eyes Dundalk scalp and insists Shamrock Rovers will only get better

Lee Grace wants Shamrock Rovers to banish their away day jitters by making a statement in Dundalk tonight.

The Hoops returned to the top of the Premier Division table - on goals scored - after beating their arch rivals in Friday’s derby at a rocking Tallaght Stadium.

In doing so they maintained a 100% home record this season after earlier wins over UCD and Drogheda United.

But the champions head to Oriel Park tonight having lost both of their away games to date - at St Pat’s and Derry City.

Yet centre-back Grace is not unduly concerned and insists the performance against St Pat’s was one of their best this season.

Grace said: “We're after losing two games on our trips away, but no panic buttons. We'll try to play our game tonight and fight as hard as we can for the three points.

“I thought we clicked against St Pat’s. They didn't create a whole lot and Bohs didn't create anything on Friday.

“We were playing some nice football in stages, but we need to do it over 90 minutes. But the Bohs games will always end up in a scrap.
