Dundalk FC 2, Bohemians 0
Oriel Park, Dundalk
Eleven games riding with perfection and there is no stopping this Dundalk squad. After their current activity in their European adventure, the Lilywhites return to league action against dangerous Bohemians at Oriel Park.
So far, with Cyprus in their minds for their upcoming match playing away AEK Larnaca, on Thursday, the Town Boys with their current streak and state of mind so optimist, these can deliver a win and a pass to the next rounds in the Europa League.
Still give Patrick Hoban a cigar, as the man is possessed and sending a clear message to the national team manager of his might and display to score after scoring his 22 goal the campaign via a penalty.
With a 2-0, win and another clean sheet for goalkeeper Gary Rodgers, the Town Boys are one point ahead of the defending champions Cork City, as they say this edition of Airtricity is red hot and with no squad as its overall winner.
For Stephen Kenny and company juggling league and international play, the man is looking forward to another successful run towards the coveted stage group and this time make a dash to the next rounds, after all the prestige and pay are not bad.
With a game pending after their European run, the Lilywhites are in first with 64 points one ahead as I mentioned before the Rebel Army who won on their match against sorry Bray Wanderers.
Returning to this match, the Lilywhites are one unstoppable entity whenever these are playing at home; extending so far their winning streak to eleven consecutive matches, there is no stopping these Lilywhites Boys.
As 3000 souls present in the colossus of Louth County, the revival of its crowd came alive in the minute 31’ when Sean Hoare scored the first goal, going with the lead into halftime; the second half was to see the likes of a red-hot striker in Patrick Hoban.
In the 51’ minute the Lilywhites were awarded a penalty after Dundalk Dena Jarvis was taken down inside the box and the game official did not hesitated to award the locals the penal which Patrick Hoban deliver to extend the locals lead.
In addition, after the score and the whole of Kenny and company displaying a grand game and despite the efforts of the Dublin Boys of looking to break the clean sheet, the Lilywhites held their ground defensively.
Despite the number of shoots at goal by the visiting Gypsies, at the end the locals persevere and giving their followers now looking forward to a set of good news to come from the Mediterranean isle where their Boys are playing for their permanency in the Europa League.
A win in Cyprus will come in handy, be a wonderful confidence booster, by paving the way and looking forward to an interesting run in the always-celebrated Europa League stage groups, this Town can do it.
