The first game of the season was a hard fought win at Oriel Park against Harps. It wasn't pretty, but it was effective. The lilywhites did what they had to do to get 3 points. Performances will need to improve from here if promotion is to be won at the end of the year, but this team makes it look as though that is highly likely to happen. Players are still finding their feet, and when things start to settle then Dundalk FC will be a force to be reckoned with.
Results elsewhere were not exactly as we would have expected, which means two things.
One - everybody will probably beat everybody else, which means teams will drop points and that means that if we win our games our destiny is in our own control.
Two - This is going to be a very competitive league, ie there are going to be no runaway winners as there have been in previous years.
It is going to be a battle to the end, but then again that is the kind of battle that Dundalk FC seems to relish!
