Shelbourne 0
Kilkenny City 0
Tolka Park
Referee : Dan Deady
Shelbourne's hopes of clinching fourth place in the First Division of the League of Ireland may have slipped away following a 0-0 draw with Kilkenny City at Tolka Park on Friday night.
Mark O'Brien missed a glorious chance to put Shels ahead midway through the first half but somehow missed the target with the goal at his mercy.
Aidan Collins also went close with a header before it was cleared off the line.
Kilkenny improved in the second half and Ted O'Connor narrowly missed the target as the Cats fashioned a couple of good chances.
A frustrating night ended scoreless in Dublin and the visitors are likely to be far happier with the outcome.
Shelbourne : O'Dowd, Murphy, McCulloch, Collins, Malcolm, Crawford, Chambers, O'Brien, Leech, Flood (L'Estrange 79), McGlynn (Harte 58).
Kilkenny City : Murray, Bargary, O'Shea, A Ryan (Dermody 37), McNicholas, Fogarty, Mulcahy, Grant, O'Connor, Tynan, Kiely (B Ryan 90).
