Finally, a Derby for Dundalk



They are back on the plus side, after a horrible loss in their last match at Turners Cross, the Lilywhites of Dundalk FC finally took a valuable win and better at the always-celebrated Louth Derby.

After last week loss to City and posting a couple of losses in this campaign, for Stephen Kenny and company it was business as usual and start making a comeback in this edition of the SSE League of Ireland.

With a three goals to one of the Drogs, a sold out Oriel Park enjoy a full evening of pure and top of the line football courtesy of its Boys, playing like in their old days.

As David McMillan, Michael Duffy and Brian Gartland became the heroes of this match and returned the defending champions to the winning columns once again, the aims of this club is to win and keep a close pace on the league leaders Cork City.

Still for Stephen Kenny and company his work at this club has been always notable and dealing an odd campaign from the start of this edition of the League of Ireland, he has been able to overcome the oddities of his club has encounter in this campaign.

What a difference makes playing at home and with a sold out match, those in attendance exposed to a one of a kind match filled with lots of great plays and brilliant moves that at the end paid off for the home squad.

To aim for the Dundalk squad was to net a win, deliver points in their favor as their cross-country foes once again posted a win, and continue their mastery of all its league foes, the need to get three points became vital for the home squad.

By trailing the league leaders by six points, anything can happen in the course of this campaign, as this match became the last one in this busy month of March and now seeing April in the horizon, the league will be entering into its best stages.

By netting an important win over a sudden failing cross county rivals the Drogs, Manager Stephen Kenny is hard at work in getting his squad leveled into the remaining of the tournament and put on a fight and seek their fourth shield if possible.

As injuries, errors and lack of focus have been central to this club sudden downfall, but nothing to worry as the campaign is in its early stages and the revival can come anytime for this Louth County club looking forward to another stellar run.

This win gives the Lilywhites three points of gold, claim bragging rights since this club came back to Irelands Premiership, and so far the Boynesiders all of a sudden are struggling in the overall table and again occupying the relegation spots.

Today’s win sees how the wisdom of the Dundalk main man Stephen Kenny came up and thanks to his improvisations after missing three main elements in Cyaran Kilduff suspension and injuries to both  Robbie Benson and Patrick McEleney.

At the end of this match, the moves by Dundalk boss paid off and his bunch came away with a valuable win that uplifted his squad spirits towards their next away compromise at Finn Park in Ballybofey, to play a hardened Harps.

Despite the win and much better performance of the offensive attack by the Dundalk squad, Manager Kenny will be focusing of seeing his squad improve defensively and not allow any spaces or liberties to the opposing strikers and creating a much stingy backfield.


Hail to the Louth Derby winners the Cumann Peile DhĂșn Dealgan!
