Though Mike Tierney restored Mervue's lead on 37 minutes, defender Mark Ludden was the first to see red for a second booking two minutes later.

Mervue then had Alex Lee sent off by Cork referee Graham Kelly on 71 minutes to all but hand the game to the Dubliners.

Within a minute, Derek Doyle had Shels in front with Hynes getting his seconnd goal ten minutes from the end.
