There was hardly a dry eye in Tallaght Stadium as Stephen Bradley's son Josh took part in Shamrock Rovers' title celebrations after the Dublin club was crowned league Champions for a 20th time.
Rory Gaffney was the hero as Rovers beat Derry on a night of celebration for The Hoops. With the title already in the bag, Hoops fans awaited the full time whistle and the moment that captain Ronan Finn lifted the title for a third season on the trot.
And in a touching moment, Josh Bradley was front and centre as the side celebrated getting their hands on the trophy. The eight-year-old was star of the show as over 7,000 fans inside the stadium celebrated a hard fought league title win.

Young Josh has been through so much this year. The youngster was diagnosed with Leukemia in the summer. This almost led to Stephen calling time on a super spell in charge of Rovers, but spurred on by his entire family including Josh, Bradley persevered and masterminded another league title success.
