Hurrah for the Flamboyant Airtricity Champions Dundalk Lilywhites!



In Kenny we trust, those are the words that a whole squad cries its lungs out, after their Boss Stephen Kenny once again lead them in back to back Airtricity League shields.

Those are the Boys of the Cumann Peile Dhún Dealgan, who netted their second league in a row, after last campaign winning the double in the EA Sports Cup and the league trophies respectively and now they are on the verge of giving Manager Kenny his fourth shield.

Two years at the helm of the Lilywhites is what Stephen Kenny been on and so far Oriel Park halls are getting a load of shields, being two of them as overall champions of the league of Ireland!

By now Dundalk manager and his squad who are ready to face off another European adventure and this time will try top advance to the final group stage as a new challenge and not be left in the edge as they did in last edition of UEFA. 

Getting ready in their upcoming compromise, that many will be seeing it as a Derby, with the Cork City Leesiders trying to take home a piece of silverware and doing it with overall bragging rigths this time, after losing the league title twice to Dundalk.

Now in the FAI Cup we will see sparks fly and with lots of exciting and spectacular brand of football with squads seeking  in Dundalk its tenth of these shields and Cork its third in its history on november 8th at Aviva Stadium.

Still this sqaud will indeed will have lots to celebrate and with a tie at one goal apiece with the Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium, Dundalk celebrated their repeat and defense of their title in a repetive fashion.

Bravo for Manager Stephen Kenny and his armada in Gary Rogers; Chris Shields, Paddy Barrett, Andy Boyle, Dane Massey; Richie Towell, Capitan Stephen O’Donnell, Darren Meenan, Ronan Finn, Kurtis Byrne, Daryl Horgan, John Mountney, David McMillan, Ciaran Kilduff , Shane Grimes, Paul Finnegan, Michael O’Connor, Gabriel Sava. 

As they state proudly in Loth County We Are the Champions… Again! Very true Ladies and Gentleman as for now if the Lilywhites win the FAI Shield now it has to conquer UEFA tourney and to an unusual extent of making a good run.

If not trying to reach to the always-elusive group stage with the big boys of Europa, possibly play maybe against the giants of the continent, and make an impact that Irish football is for real and can compete with the big guns.

I do praise the Dundalk Lilywhites feats as second year in row champions of the Airtricity League of Ireland with pure determination and convincing fashion, Hail to the Victors!
