Dundalk FC Seen as Serious Contenders in the Airtricity League

Stephen Kenny chaps are playing one serious and ambitious football in this edition of the SSE Airtrcity League of the Republic of Ireland. 

Seriously, after defeating a hardened and former first place holder in Cork City, the Lilywhites really looked like a championship squad and with a seriousness of not to be mess with!

A convincing 4-0 rout over a surprised Leesiders squad, was enough of putting them on the league top, although by just one point difference, over last campaign champion’s St. Patrick’s Athletic.

This group of Dubliners is trying to recover their place at the top, according to their expectation’s, still the Lilywhites are playing a one of a kind football.        

Dundalk FC will continue their ambitious determination of achieving their goals, as well trying to win the league shield over the Pats, who are trying to get back into their winning ways, as well try to repeat as league champions.

Coming into this campaign nobody considered this squad among the favorites to earn the shield or to even contend for anything, still their push to the top of the overall table, is showing the opposite side of the story.

An all-around statement is what skipper Kenny is showing off in the start of this campaign, after all this man has a very impressive CV in his managerial career, delivering results as a way of leaving his mark in every squad. 

Still we have quite some ways before this league is over, with 26 matches left on this edition of the SSE League- it’s when the Lilywhites need to get in business and get rolling in their quest of glory. 

It’s when this Loth County squad, will put on a test for their might and will of winning , this upcoming weekend at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, going for the ultimate of honors in the prestigious Setanta Cup finals against a rough Sligo Rovers squad.

As the chaps with a match pending in league play against Limerick FC, their sights will be on another shield in the always competed and decorated EA Sports Cup, were these chaps already made it into quarters and play a belligerent Derry City.

Not bad for this squad as well making their Manager Kenny very proud of his work, that so far has shown in his squad his one of a kind work. 

At the end Dundalk will witness a very competitive race in league and cups play, were it will expose this squad determination and willingness to bring a few trophies to Oriel Park halls, if their playing like hungry wolves continues.
