After a couple of
trophy less campaigns and barely keeping up in the European spots with such a
hard fought hunger, the Hoops are trying hard to return to their old triumphant
forms.
Here we have a squad
once almighty and dominant in the Airtricity League of Ireland, now is struggling
to keep on with the growing competition from its league foes, especially their Dublin
City neighbors.
Still for Manager Pat
Fenlon leaving the past behind and now focusing in new horizons and goals to be
meet with his Hoops, this campaign hopefully they can be on a tough fight and try to put on a show in
the grounds of Tallaght.
It looks like this
campaign will be one challenging one for the Rovers, seeking the ultimate of challenges
as well achieve some much-needed shields among one of them the league trophy
not won from quite some time.
So far so good in this
campaign for the Rovers who are looking good in their league three starts by
netting important wins and tied currently for first place with the defending
champions the Dundalk FC Lilywhites.
The road for success
in this association will be one tough test as the Hoops situated in the Europa
League knockout rounds will be a bit of a handful for their Boss Fenlon in
sorting their league and European tourney compromises.
With three win over
Finn Harps, Sligo Rovers and Wexford Youths, three wins and a loss against the
Pats in the first ever Dublin Derby is getting Manager Pat Fenlon back to the
drawing board in seeing what went wrong in this match.
Something that the
Shamrock Rovers are looking forward is getting the best ever results in the Derbies
with neighboring Pats and Bohs, these latter ones a bit dominant in the past editions
of the Dublin Derbies.
One thing for sure
this squad is poised and determined for the best of performances in this
edition, very well looking forward to a successful campaign full of many
satisfactions and lifting many shields possible from several competitions.
Another challenge the
Hoops are getting ready is the UEFA Europa alongside with Saint Patrick’s
Athletic and Cork City in the group of 98 squads, the Dubliners are ready to display
and elegant Irish style of football.
Maybe it can put them
in the next rounds and aiming for the pass to the always coveted and elusive
for Irish squads the group stage, one major achievement will be for the Rovers
if they reach these levels.
This can be the year
of the Shamrock Rovers reaching the confines of excellence as well reaching for
the stars and all the ultimate of glories, just like old times.
