In the first division, Shamrock Rovers seemed to have no trouble adapting to their new circumstances as the Dublin club quickly went top of the table. In an extremely tight division Galway United, Limerick FC, Dundalk FC and Cobh Ramblers all had legitimate chances to top the division. Shamrock Rovers effectively clinched the First Division title with a 4-0 win over an apparently demoralised or otherwise unmotivated Finn Harps team at Tolka Park in ther penultimate game of the season.

Some fans had complained the league felt very disjointed due to the Mid-Season break for the World Cup ^{[citation needed]}. St. Patrick's Athletic seemed worse hit as their encouraging early season form deserted them on the return. Shelbourne were the form team throughout July and August and by the start of September had assumed the lead in the race for league honours. Drogheda United and Derry City were still in contention but Cork City had faded, and lay 10 points adrift in 4th place.

Climax

Mark Farren's stoppage-time winner for Derry City away to Waterford United on November 13 ensured the title would (for the third successive year) remain at stake on the final day of the season (November 17.) In order to clich the championship, Shelbourne, tied with Derry City on 59 points, needed only to better the Candystripes' result against Cork City when they faced Dublin rivals Bohemians at Tolka Park. Cork, three points shy of Shels and Derry on 56, could not plausibly retain their championship save by overturning an enormous goal difference deficit, but second place remained a realistic aspiration had Cork beaten Derry by a clear two goal margin.

On the night, early developments favoured Derry City, who led Cork after 11 minutes through Mark Farren. When Bohemians snatched a surprise lead against Shelbourne at Tolka Park (via an egregious error from Shels 'keeper Steve Williams, who fumbled an innocuous cross before nudging the ball over his own goal-line), the league trophy seemed bound for a rare excursion across the border. On 23 minutes, however, John Paul Kelly handled Bobby Ryan's shot, and Stuart Byrne sank the penalty kick to level the scores. Six minutes later, a clearly unfit Jason Byrne's outswinging cross from the right flank was prodded past Stephen O'Brien by the left boot of Glen Crowe, the man whose transfer from Bohemians to Shelbourne in 2004 provoked much of the acrimony which has defined the two clubs' relations ever since.

Although sixty eventful minutes remained (the last of which would see a red card bestowed upon Shelbourne substitute Richie Baker for a high challenge on Conor Powell), Crowe's goal proved decisive, securing both match and championship for Pat Fenlon's team. An emotional Stuart Byrne, ajudged eircom Man of the Match, castigated outgoing Derry City manager Stephen Kenny in his post-match interview[1], while Pat Fenlon equivocated when questioned on his future at the club.
