Big kick-off arrives as Bohs face Fingal
In the absence of Cork City and Derry City, this will be the first of many Dublin derbies in the top flight this season and, adding extra spice to the occasion, it will see former Dalymount favourite and new Fingal striker Glen Crowe getting an early opportunity to stand in the way of Bohs’ first stab at making it three-in-a-row.
“We’re looking forward to the start of the season,” says Bohs manager Pat Fenlon. “We have brought in a few players, but they are all experienced players at this level and shouldn’t take long to gel together. We’re really looking forward to the game. Fingal have a good squad and in fairness to them they always have a go at teams.”
