Undoubtedly no one
messes with the Lilywhites of Dundalk in this edition of the Airtricity League
of Ireland and by far this squad is looking like an overall contender once
again in this edition.
With the Saint
Patrick Athletic chaps paying a visit to Oriel Park and face in what many see a
hardened Dundalk, suddenly the locals were in danger of faltering in front of
their faithful.
At the end the good
fortunes and strategies placed by its Manager Stephen Kenny definitely worked
wonders and hence a very convincing result for the locals that saw their
efforts all afternoon long with a nice 4-1 victory.
So far seeded in
first place since the beginning of the campaign this squad is poised to net
another shield or two to its venue halls as well claim bragging rights as an
all-around domination of this tourney for the second year consecutively.
As results speak for
themselves, this squad has fifty eight points and with an advantage in the top
of eight points over its closest follower in Cork City and Saint Patrick’s
Athletic behind with nine and Shamrock Rovers way behind with twelve.
The Lilywhites are
determined to win it all along of netting a treble in this campaign that for
sure this squad is already wrapped up and with the champagne cooling just
waiting for the final game of the campaign to uncork it.
Although they came
short on the UEFA Europa adventure after being eliminated by Bielorrusia side Bate
Borisov, their next time maybe this squad can get among the European elite for
good make a run in the final stages.
At the end this club
once again under Manager Kenny’s direction this club is a force not reckon with
and if this club continues its ascent and winning ways, once again will claim
another Airtricity League Shield for this campaign.
Their upcoming
compromises in league play will against a not so easy Bohemian squad at
Dalymont Park in Dublin to return to Oriel Park and host the always difficult
Shamrock Rovers, putting their great record in the line.
For the Lilywhites
Boss its nothing but another challenge well taken and preparing his boys for the
upcoming matches and with a three match home stand at Loth, things can work for
Dundalk at the end.
Sadly but true is there
anyone that can stop this club winning ways as well being on its way to net another
league shield and stop this initial eleven that their Boss Stephen Kenny already
has put so much faith in it.
If things continue
its march and the Lilywhites continue with their top of the line football, I doubt
anyone can catch this squad and replace it at the league top, very doubtful.
