A famed tabloid in Ireland states in its column about the hectic and annoying schedule the SSE has instituted in this campaign and its players suffering the consequences. Still there are some squads not willing to surrender an inch of what is recently a contested race to the top.
Before it was three squads and now is between the league archrivals Dundalk FC and Cork City as these later ones being the defending champions but at times showing a bit if a championship hangover in some of its matches.
So far, the Lilywhites of Stephen Kenny are recuperating their rightful spot at the top of the league overall table with a slim lead of two mingy points, still the Town Boys are firm in their objective and consistency in their positive streak.
With some squads facing some serious injuries after the wear and tear of these two days of rest from some of the teams, as some players are felling the strain of the calendar and seen in their way of being a total absence from their squads initial elevens.
With three matches scheduled on Monday and one on Tuesday, the SSE is seeing lots of action in several fronts as well the league entering into a much-contested stage between several of its squads looking forward to get among the top three spots.
