No regrets as Lennon continues proud tradition

IN a parallel universe, Shane Lennon’s big week is already behind him.

Last Monday, Dundalk FC secured a tense 2-1 win over local rivals Drogheda United in Oriel Park. Sweet as that was, it was just an appetiser for a historic evening three days later when Luxembourg’s Grevenmacher were beaten in the ground’s first European tie for 19 years.

Like so many of his colleagues, Lennon dabbled in the other code down the years and the Louth side that lines out in Croke Park tomorrow will be sprinkled liberally with men who have juggled both balls at one time or another.
