One change in Shelbourne side to face Linfield in huge Champions League clash
Shelbourne manager Joey O'Brien has named his starting-11 for Wednesday night's big Champions League clash with Linfield at Windsor Park. And there is one change to the side that claimed a 1-0 advantage in last week's first-leg. Out goes on-loan Liverpool defender James Norris and he is replaced by former Manchester City youth, and ex-Waterford and Bohemians left-back, Tyreke Wilson. There is no Sean Gannon in the side, despite his appearance on Tuesday evening at the pre-match press conference next to O'Brien. Gannon is aiming to make his 58th appearance in continental competition, but he will have to wait as he takes his place on the bench in Belfast. Conor Kearns starts in goal and the back-three is likely to once again be Mark Coyle, Paddy Barrett and Kameron Ledwidge. JJ Lunney and Kerr McInroy dominated midfield last week and they will renew that partnership, with Evan Caffrey and Wilson providing width. Mipo Odubeko, last week's goalscorer, starts again up-front, with Harry Wood and Ali Coote supporting him. Sean Boyd, whose substitution last week sparked Shelbourne's attack into life, once again starts on the bench. Shelbourne Conor Kearns; Mark Coyle, Paddy Barrett, Kameron Ledwidge; Evan Caffrey, JJ Lunney, Kerr McInroy, James Norris; Harry Wood., Ali Coote; Mipo Odubeko. Subs: Healy, Topcu, Gannon, Chapman, Boyd, Martin, Bone, O'Sullivan, Kelly, Norris, Temple, Ring. Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email .

‘He gave his whole life to the poor': Capuchin centre visitors among those paying respects to Br Kevin Crowley
Some of the people who have received welcome, food and shelter at Dublin's Capuchin Day Centre over the last half-century were among those came to pray and spend some final, quiet time with its founder, Br Kevin Crowley, on Friday. The friar, originally from Enniskeane, Co Cork, died on Wednesday aged 90 . His funeral takes place on Saturday. A steady trickle of people arrived throughout Friday at Dublin's the 19th century Church of St Mary of the Angels, where the remains of the man known to all as Br Kevin reposed. 'He was a lovely man. He very helped an awful lot of people, and he helped me in my darkest days,' Sarah Foran said. READ MORE Sarah Foran, Damien Devereux and Capuchin Day Centre director Fr Kevin Kiernan pay their respects to Br Kevin Crowley. Photograph: Tom Honan Br Kevin had supported her when she was homeless and she felt 'very emotional' while standing by his coffin, Ms Foran said. 'I am originally from Darndale and live in Finglas now. Br Kevin helped everyone – the nicest man.' James Norris, originally from Co Waterford but living in Dublin for 40 years, said he had 'availed of Br Kevin's services' and the centre over the years. James Norris: 'The Holy Spirit was working in him.' Photograph: Tom Honan 'I am only after coming out from getting my dinner there. The people [in the centre] are non-judgmental. They treat everybody the same,' he said. 'If Br Kevin hadn't started that place people would be hungry. He was feeding half of Dublin. He had special grace from God – the Holy Spirit was working in him.' Joseph Deegan, aged in his 80s, became upset when asked why he had come to pay respects to the late friar. Joseph Deegan: 'He was very good to me at a very hard time.' Photograph: Tom Honan 'When I came home from America the man was very good to me, very good to me at a very hard time,' he said. Beverly Gannon, from Finglas, said she felt 'heartbroken and angry' as she emerged from the church. 'It was back in the 1960s when he set that up and we are here in 2025 and we are in an even worse condition,' she said. 'Can this Government not see? It takes that man in there to give his life doing the job that they should be doing. It is heartbreaking.' Beverley Gannon: 'He was a wonderful man.' Photograph: Tom Honan 'Up until last year I used to get [food] parcels [from the centre] and bring them to Finglas. The needs and the amount of people that he helped extend far beyond this area. [Government] are all coming out and saying what a wonderful man he was. He was a wonderful man that done their job.' Ita O'Malley, a retired garda, said she had come 'because he was just so good to the homeless'. Ita O'Malley: 'We could all take a leaf from his book.' Photograph: Tom Honan She said she was 'thinking 'if we could all just take a leaf from his book' ... not just the Government but all of us. 'He gave his whole life to the poor.' Solicitor Pol Ó Murchu said: 'We are poorer without him. He was a good man and he lived the Gospel of Jesus. Leaba i measc na naomh ag Kevin anocht,' he said. 'May Kevin have a bed among the saints.' Elieen O'Connor, a nurse working with homeless people in Dublin's Mater hospital, said she met Br Kevin 24 years ago when she attended a patient's funeral.

Among those expected at his funeral are President Michael D Higgins, Lord Mayor of Dublin Ray McAdam, the Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell and Bishop of Br Kevin's native Cork and Ross, Fintan Gavin. But 'most important' among the mourners will be the those who use the day centre, its director Fr Kevin Kiernan said, adding that seats would be reserved for them.
