Main Season edit

Hours before the season opener against St Patrick's Athletic it was announced that Shelbourne had met with the Dublin City Council to propose purchasing Tolka Park and redeveloping it into a multi sport stadium.[66] A sell out crowd of 4,100 at Tolka Park saw 9 new players line up for Shels with Luke Byrne and John Ross Wilson the only starters from the 2021 squad. In a game broadcast live on RTÉ, Shelbourne scored in the 2nd minute only to have the goal ruled for offside. Two stray passes led to goals for St Pat's, and a third goal in the 85th minute secured their win.[67] Dan Hawkins and Mark Coyle scored the first goals of the season away to Drogheda United to give Shels their first win.[68] This was followed by a 0–0 draw at UCD in a game that was stopped for 8 minutes due to the pitch sprinklers coming on mid game.[69] Shels returned to Tolka Park for the fixture against Derry City but a 73rd-minute goal for the visitors saw Derry leave as victors.[70] The remainder of March saw Shels draw 1–1 with both Dundalk and Bohemians before losing 0–3 at home to bottom club Finn Harps ahead of the first season break.[71][72][73]

Shelbourne returned from the break with a convincing away win over Sligo Rovers, but their search for a home win continued after defeats to Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians.[74][75][76] A further away win over league leaders Derry was followed by losses to Dundalk and Finn Harps, leaving Shels finishing the month in 8th position.[77][78][79] On 5 May Dublin City Council recommended abandoning plans to rezone Tolka Park for residential use in a huge boost for the club. Shels welcomed Sligo Rovers the following day and ran out 2-1 winners with a first goal for Jack Moylan and a fourth of the season for Sean Boyd securing the win.[80][81] It was the start of a run of four wins following Duff's three game touchline ban after being sent off during the Drogheda.[82] A defeat away to Shamrock Rovers saw Shels retain their 6th position in the league table on the same day that Shane Farrell signed a contract extension which secured his services for the 2023 season.[7][83] Lewis Webb was recalled to his parent club Swansea City during the mid-season break which was extended with the postponement of the home fixture against Derry City due to International call ups.[84][85] Jordan McEneff also returned to his parent club in the same week as Welsh goalkeeper Scott Van Der Sluis joined and JJ Lunney extended his contract until 2023.[32][29][4] 17 year old Gavin Hodgins made his debut off the bench as Shels failed to capitalise on Ciaran Kelly's sending off in a 0–1 defeat away to Bohemian's.[86] An improved performance 7 days later saw Shels draw 0–0 with 2nd placed Dundalk.[87] Jad Hakiki's services were secured with a contract extension until 2024 on 30 June 2022, with Brian McManus being signed to 2023 soon after[10][5] An away defeat to Sligo Rovers was followed by 3–1 win at home over Finn Harps, helping the team maintain 7th position in the league.[88][89]

Premier Division safety was confirmed following the 1–1 draw away to Finn Harps on 30 September 2022, as Stephan Negru scored his first senior goal on his first senior start for the team.[90]

Shels finished the season with just 3 wins from their final 19 league games. A 2–0 away win to UCD and a 6–0 rout to Drogheda in the second last game of the year.
