Where do Dundalk stand among all-time greatest?
With the curtain about to come down at the end of another SSE Airtricity League of Ireland campaign, the ovations will once again be ringing around Oriel Park tonight to mark Dundalk’s second successive season as champions.
Bray Wanderers will want to spoil the party, of course, but in contrast to the knife-edge tension of this time last year — when Cork City arrived at Dundalk’s home with hopes of claiming the title — Stephen Kenny’s side have the luxury of knowing that the end game comes with the trophy already comfortably in the bag, their lead over City ahead of tonight’s match a roomy 11 points. And they know, too, that they remain on course to do the double, as they prepare to take on their closest rivals of the last two seasons in a mouth-watering FAI Cup final match-up at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday week.
