Dundalk finish second

DUNDALK overcame the elements and Finn Harps to clinch the runners-up spot in the First Division at Finn Park yesterday.

And their immediate reward is a place in the play-offs against Waterford United and the hope that Premier Division soccer at Oriel Park could yet be a reality again next season.

In a game that resembled a good old fashioned ‘70’s mud bath, both teams showed great commitment in the farcical conditions.
