Riverstown native Johnny Kenny is at the top of the tree regarding goals scored in the UEFA Conference League this season.
The striker, who is currently on loan at Shamrock Rovers from Scottish Premier League champions Celtic, has hit the ground running in the league phase of the European competition - scoring five goals in five games. The 21-year-old is alongside Chelsea's €60M attacker Christopher Nkunku at the top of the Conference League goalscoring charts.

The Tallaght club remain unbeaten in the competition following last night's 3-0 home victory over FK Borac Banja Luka, which included a brace and an assist from Kenny.
The ex-Sligo Rovers man's loan deal expires at the end of this month so his form could provide him a chance of impressing Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead in the new year.
