A quiet night at the Oval saw Dundalk struggle to take the lead in a mostly dull affair.
Mark Quigley finally put the away side in front, after a number of chances failed to come to fruition for the visitors.
There was an air of a job done as Dundalk now take a valuable away goal back to Oriel for the second leg in 2 weeks.
A win in this round would reward Dundalk with a place in the semi final of this year's Setanta Cup, so all fingers are crossed.
Hopefully we can pack Oriel for the home leg on the 21st and finish the job started tonight.
