Late Byrne strike settles Dundalk’s frayed nerves

JASON BYRNE’S late strike helped Dundalk keep up their unbeaten home record against UCD in Oriel Park last night.

The home side had looked like they would comfortably take the three points after Daniel Kearns had made one and scored another to set them on the road to victory in the first-half.

However, a Paul Corry goal on 69 minutes set up a nervy finish with Lilywhites fans fearful of a repeat of last week’s capitulation, which saw them squander a 2-0 lead away to St Patrick’s Athletic.
