After sealing their
fate one match at a time, the Lilywhites are on route of achieving their third
league shield as well enjoying the challenges of playing in Europa League and making
themselves ready to start their push in the
FAI Cup semifinals.
With a Friday night
match scheduled at Oriel Park against the visiting Derry City Candystripes, on
what seemed to be a very disputed and important match between these two titans
putting their campaigns on the line.
A win for the Lilywhites
could give them a lead of eight points and some cushion towards winning the league
as for the Candystripes looking to net a win and add points to be as far possible
from the Hoops and clinch the last European spot.
So far, for the Dundalk
squad, living a sort of a fairy tale of a campaign, after falling short of
being in the always-prestigious Champions League. Still for the Lilywhites, their
European dreams did not stop there but at the contrary, these continued solidly
by netting them a spot in the Europa League.
With tonight’s match,
the Louth County Boys have shown their readiness and all around desires of
putting a dent into their closest of chasers in the Leesiders and with today’s
win they seemed to be heading for a league treble.
As Dundalk Manager
putting an initial eleven with some of his backup players and giving some rest
to some of its starters, these showed off an immediate response to the call and
delivered with a very convincing victory.
This was a match were
Darryl Horgan became all of a sudden a name for the Republic of Ireland Boss to
consider him in the upcoming national squad compromises, after the Lilywhites
midfielder showed off a one of a kind performance.
By delivering a marvelous
execution and with his all-around involvement in the match, were he served
three passes that became the game winning goals of this match to a 3-1 rout and
forging a lead in the league overall table.
Very well, this win
is a shoot of optimism and motivation for the Irish based squad, ahead on their
next international compromise.
Considered an important
win and seeing how everything is going to plan by the Dundalk Boss in league
play, now he has to prepare his squad to play at Dublin Tallaght Stadium against
Maccabi Tel Aviv on Europa League on Thursday September 29.
Coming back to Sunday
to start play in the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup semifinals against Derry City and
return to league play on Friday October 7 at Oriel Park to play a hardened
Sligo Rovers squad and close league play on the 14th against the Shamrock
Rovers at Tallaght.
For now, the Dundalk
FC Boys are in sole possession of first place in league play with 62 points
over Cork City 54 points and tied for second with AZ Alkmar with a point each in
the UEFA Europa League.
Still with a few
matches left in league play, FAI Cup and a long journey in Europa league, the
Lilywhites are showing off a wondrous and amazing campaign so far as well to
applaud this squad all around efforts of delivering many satisfactions to its followers.
At the end this squad,
is making a reputable name for itself in international play as well elevating the
name of the league of Ireland and its football very highly in the confines of
Europe, making it a superb of a campaign for the Dundalk FC Lilywhites.
