With a much awaited fanfare
and grand fete in the colossus of Carrickmacross Road the Lilywhites followers
in attendance treated to a grand performance from its squad sealing a grand win
with a goal rout over a hapless Bit O’ Red.
As all the fronts in the League of Ireland
seeing full action in the last matches of this amazing campaign, the name of the
game was to score the living daylights of your foe and seeing how the Hoops are
taking a lead in the race for third.
However, I do praise
the work performed by recently promoted Waterford doing a dandy of a campaign
and delivering a one of a kind campaign in the end, I do praise the job of
manager Alan Reynolds.
In Carlisle Grounds a
doomed Bray Wanderers playing its last matches in the Premier association,
these were easy prey to the wrath of an insistent Dublin side in the Bohemians
FC showing off their firepower in the coast.
So far, in the
campaign Bohs manager Keith Long and company have put on a show and looking
forward to next campaign, with Dinny Corcoran putting on a goal fest with four
goals and Kevin Devaney to seal the deal.
Bray Wanderers 0, Bohemians

Back in Brandywell
the local Candystripes host the likes of the league former champions Cork City
still putting on a late fight but a little too late as today the Town lads
hoisted the Trophy as this edition champions.
Still for the visiting
Rebel Army with a three goals scored by Barry McNamee the former Derry mid in
the 14’, OG by Gerard Doherty 48’ and Shane Daly- Butz 87’ and preserve a clean
sheet for goalkeeper Peter Cherrie.

In Market’s Field the
local Limerick side was looking forward to a win but found out that their visiting
foes the Saints of Saint Patrick’s Athletic that played their best football and
readying for a more promising 2019.
However, these Pats
under caretaker Ger O’ Brien his lads delivered mayhem over the local Blues as
Pats Kevin Toner opened the score in the 11’, followed by Jake Keegan 22’, OG by Jack Brady 48’ and Simon
Madden 49’.

In Tallaght Stadium,
the local Shamrock Rovers sealed it with an all-around class and dominance over
their new archrivals the visiting Waterford Boys looking to seize a decisive
victory from the local Hoops.
For Stephen Bradley and company seeing the
perseverance in the end paying off for his Rovers, the fruits of his motivation
well represented today with scores from Gary Shaw 11’, Dan Carr 35’ and Sean
Boyd 87’ and for the Blues Ismahil Akinade 73’.
Shamrock Rovers 3,
Waterford 1
In Oriel Park, the
local Dundalk Lilywhites celebrated aloud their newly achieved league title and
today the league representatives were on hand at the colossus of Carrickmacross
Road.
Crowning their recent
achievement Stephen Kenny and his Town Boys showed why they are the Champions
my friends, with the Bit O’ Red not able to stop the scoring madness of the
locals delivering a rout.
The Lilywhites scores
came from John Mountney scoring a double in the 9’ and 42, followed by a lone goal
by Michael Duffy 33’ and another double from super Patrick Hoban via a penal in
the 58’ and 63’.
Dundalk 5, Sligo Rovers 0
