Rovers striker Burke and Treaty teenager McGuane named Players of the Month
Burke was named SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month, having been instrumental in Rovers' charge back to the top of the table.
The Dubliner scored four goals and provided two assists in seven appearances across the month of May, beating Drogheda United's Conor Keeley and Tommy Lonergan of Waterford FC to the prize.
'I haven't won this award for a long time (2018), but having said that, I am delighted to have won it for the month of May,' said Burke. 'I think it's just the third time I have won the soccer writers award and the last time was back in 2018 when I was capped at international level.

'Our form at Rovers has been excellent – one defeat in nine and just three setbacks in all – we just go out and try to do what we do best. We know as a group what we are capable of and we have a system we play that works well for us.
'The three defeats came early on at the start of the league campaign and off the back of a short pre-season and it took us a few weeks to get up to speed. We have been on a good run lately and we want to keep that going for a long as we can. The team have been performing well week in, week out and it's not just down to me.'

McGuane, meanwhile, becomes the first Treaty United player to win the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division Player of the Month award.
The Ireland Girls' U16 captain has excelled in her debut season at senior level, scoring twice from the penalty spot in May.
The Limerick midfielder was selected for the accolade ahead of Shelbourne's Mackenzie Anthony and Wexford's Ellen Molloy.
'Madison has been excellent since the start of the season,' said Treaty United manager Sean Russell. 'She's shown that she is more than capable of making the step up to senior level.
'For such a young player, she plays with great maturity. Her attitude matches her ability and I have no doubt she will continue to develop and get better.'
McGuane was named Women's U17 Player of the Year at the FAI International Awards last week, while she recently captained the Ireland U16s at the Uefa Development Tournament in Finland.

Shelbourne to host Linfield at Tolka Park in Conference League playoff first leg
Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley revealed that Rory Gaffney took a pay cut and turned down a two-year contract offer from other clubs to continue his career in Tallaght. Gaffney was 'unplayable' on Thursday night as the 35-year-old's goals, the second an audacious back-heel, helped Rovers to a 4-1 aggregate defeat of Kosovo side Ballkani. Josh Honohan scored the third goal with a spectacular volley before a fourth by Graham Burke secured next Thursday's Uefa Conference League play-off, first leg against Santa Clara in the Azores. Shelbourne face Linfield in a repeat of their Champions League qualifier from July with the Drumcondra club convincing Uefa that a reduced capacity Tolka Park can host the first leg next Thursday. READ MORE 'Rory, when he's like that he's unplayable,' said Bradley. 'You've all seen it, he's six foot one, loves a fight, can go both sides, can finish. When he's in that form, defenders don't know what to do with him. 'When you think of the discussions we had last year, he had contract offers and he said 'I'm willing to come back, I'm willing to take a pay cut. If I'm injured, I'll walk away.' 'And he comes back and this is what you get out of him; Michael [Noonan] and John [McGovern] are seeing this and understanding it, not just on the pitch but how he lives his life, to be 35 and performing like that in Europe.' Not many people take a pay cut in any career, never mind football. 'Not many, no,' Bradley responded. 'That kind of summed up the career he had, he could have walked away and into a two-year deal and been comfortable. But he wanted to win things, taste Europe again, win the league, the cup. He is nearly finished, he wants to finish winning things, you have to admire that. 'Now the job will be negotiating with him next year, because he is in the driving seat.' Bradley was quick to add: 'There is no goal bonus!' The Rovers manager also called for Josh Honohan to be retained in Heimir Hallgrímsson's Republic of Ireland squad for the World Cup qualification campaign that begins next month at home to Hungary and away to Armenia. Hallgrímsson was in Tallaght on Thursday to watch Honohan, who he included in the June camp without capping the Cork wing back against Senegal or Luxembourg. 'I have said it from day one, it is not a reaction to the goal,' Bradley continued, 'over two legs Josh was our best player by a mile. I think he showed he can play at the elite level. There is no doubt in my mind. 'He is six foot, lightning quick, good quality off both sides, defensively good, I can keep going, he was brilliant. They changed their whole system to try and stop Josh and that unbalanced them elsewhere.' Robbie Brady missed the start of Preston's EFL Championship campaign with a calf injury so Honohan appears to be competing with Southampton's Ryan Manning to start at left-back against Hungary on September 6th. Rovers travel on an eight-hour, chartered flight to the Azores ahead of Thursday's first-leg against a Santa Clara squad that includes 17 Brazilians and just nine Portuguese. '17 Brazilians, yeah, they are a proper team, really athletic and quick. First leg away, over there, we'll have to perform better than we did last week [losing 1-0 to Ballkani in Kosovo]. But if we take it back here, it's game on; we seen last year in Tallaght, we're a match for anybody when we get it right.' Rovers are guaranteed €3.7 million if they beat Santa Clara and reach the Conference League while Shels will bank €3.8 million if they repeat their 2-1 aggregate result over Linfield from last month. If the Irish clubs qualify, they are guaranteed six matches against six different European sides running into December, which comes with a €400,000 bonus for each win and €133,000 for a draw. The League of Ireland premier division champions receive €125,000. The play-off second legs at Tallaght Stadium and Windsor Park take place on August 28th. Shels and Rovers also agreed to postpone next Friday's Dublin derby after the FAI purposely fixed the tie in that date to assist their clubs in Europe.

Shamrock Rovers boss reveals Euro hero Rory Gaffney took pay cut to stay at club
STEPHEN BRADLEY HAS revealed that striker Rory Gaffney turned down two contracts on two-year deals from rival clubs in the League of Ireland and eventually took a pay cut to remain at Shamrock Rovers so he could prove his worth this season. The striker, who turns 36 in October, underwent ankle surgery last year and was unsure if he would be able to continue his career in the game. He trained with Rovers without penning a new deal during pre-season and rejected the chance to move in order to remain at Tallaght Stadium. Advertisement Gaffney has now scored 12 goals in all competitions so far after hitting a brace in the 4-0 win over Ballkani of Kosovo that set up a Uefa Conference League play-off with Portuguese side Santa Clara. Bradley's side travel to the Azores for the first leg next week and do so with a striker seemingly at the top of his game after not even being fit enough to be registered for the club's Conference League campaign last season. 'You always have doubts, when you're in your mid-thirties and you have the injuries he's had. Of course, there's a little bit of doubt, but I also know Rory, I played with him and I trust him,' Bradley said. 'And the conversations are very honest, you know, 'I'm willing to come back. I'm willing to take a pay cut. If I'm injured, I'll walk away'. And I trust everything he says there, you know. And pre-season, we spoke all the way through it. He managed himself. And there's always that bit of doubt. It has to be at his age. 'But like I said, Rory's so matter-of-fact, if he tells you something, he believes it, and he's not saying it just to bullshit you. He wouldn't do that. He's not that type. So when he was talking to me, I knew he was telling me the truth, you know? Bradley explained how two rivals offered the striker a two-year deal but he rebuffed the interest and even accept reduced terms with the Dublin club. 'I think that probably sums up the career he's had. He could have walked away and had them two contracts, two-year deals, and been comfortable. But he said 'I want to win things. I want to taste Europe. I want to win the league. I want to win the Cup. I want to win things. I'm nearly there. I'm nearly finished. I want to finish on winning things'. And you have to admire that. Now the job would be negotiating for him next year.'

Rory Gaffney masterclass powers Shamrock Rovers into Conference League play-off
Uefa Conference League third qualifying round, second-leg Shamrock Rovers 4 Ballkani 0 Shamrock Rovers win 4-1 on aggregate THIS WOULD HAVE felt special for Rory Gaffney. Not only did his two goals in the minutes either side of half-time turn this tie in Shamrock Rovers' favour and see them advance to a play-off tie with Santa Clara of Portugal, but it was a night to savour in a story of redemption. An ankle operation at the end of 2024 meant he started this campaign training with Rovers without the guarantee of a contract. The former player of the year, who turns 36 in October, never had to prove his quality. Fitness was the only concern. It's not anymore, and as this year goes on the Galway native only grows stronger and stronger. His 11th goal of the season in the first minute of first-half injury time was an instinctive rebound in the box. It put Rovers ahead on the night – and level in the tie – after Ballkani took a 1-0 lead from Kosovo last week. His second goal on 48 minutes was one to make it a dirty dozen for the year. In an act of pure ingenuity, a deft Cruyff turn flick in the six-yard box caught everyone out for a moment of pure delight. Advertisement From a point of being unsure if he would be able to continue in the League of Ireland at all, Gaffney will now lead Stephen Bradley's side into a Conference League play-off that could see him take part in the league phase after not even being registered for the run to the knockout stages last season. When he was substituted on 63 minutes, 6,419 Rovers fans rose to their feet and applauded his night's work. Some sang their song about him to the tune of 90s hit Saturday Night. 'And I like the way you move, Rory Gaffney' How that must have felt, the elation after all of the endurance. Rovers were 3-1 up on aggregate by that point after Josh Honohan added some more gloss to the night with a stunning cushioned volley from outside of the box on 55 minutes, while substitute Graham Burke made the most of a poor back pass to take control of the ball and slide it into an empty net on 67 minutes to extend his club record for European goals to 11. Rovers needed one more to create a bit of extra history and secure a record home win in Europe, but as it were they had to make do with equalling the 4-0 win secured over Fram in 1982 when John Giles was manager. Bradley's place in the Rovers' pantheon is already secured, another league title is likely on the way now too and if they can deliver successive qualifications for the league phase of European football then his overall legacy in League of Ireland lore will also have to be redrawn. As the clock turned towards 90 minutes Bradley was able to savour the moment. Rovers fans sang about their own club's endurance – 'We'll never die' – and it was poignant given this month marked 20 years since fans united to save it from financial extinction. Bradley conduced the stands, waving his arms in the air and smiling to his players and staff on the bench. And yet the opening 15 minutes hinted at a night of tension that never really materialised after Matt Healy had a shot saved on the line and Marsel Ismajlgeci struck the post from a short-corner routine. A couple of incidents within the 31st minute gave an indication of Ballkani's confidence and Rovers' frustration, Dan Clearly and Danny Mandroiu booked for late tackles and the the visitors' front three combining swiftly with the impressive Sunday Adentunji turning to create space down the right only for the final ball to be cleared. Rovers were in need of inspiration and before they eventually broke through in the first minute of first-half injury time it was an offside goal from Gaffney that created the spark around Tallaght Stadium. Dylan Watts' sharp control and pass got the forward away off the last man and while the run was ill-timed it served as a reminder of how the home side could cause the most damage. Swift, positive and forward thinking play had Ballkani struggling for answers. On 39 minutes Gaffney raced down the right channel, turned by returning captain Bajram Jashanica as if he wasn't there only for an excellent recovering block from Arbër Potoku. The left back celebrated wildly and then decided to jog after Gaffney and roar in his face in a moment of what turned out to be premature elation. This was a night that belonged to Gaffney and Rovers, as Europe once again offers greater possibilities.
