Bohs hurt by former players

- PAUL O'HEHIR

ANDY LYONS and Danny Mandroiu played the pantomime villain roles to perfection as they haunted Bohs at a bouncing Dalymount Park.

More than anyone in the Rovers ranks, they were the pair in the home fans' line of fire and particularly Lyons after his winter switch to the champs.

But he opened the scoring early before Mandroiu ruthlessly snuffed out any semblance of hope the hosts had of a revival, scoring seconds after Junior's 68th-minute lifeline.

Noticeably fired up, the champions tore into their arch enemies from the start and James Talbot had to make a number of saves either side of Lyons' goal.
