Cup win leaves Massey hungry for more

Dundalk 3 Shamrock Rovers 2

Left-back Massey was Dundalk’s unlikely hero with two goals in a roller coaster final at Oriel Park that could have gone either way. Going out of he FAI Ford Cup to Rovers in last Monday’s quarter-final replay ended any treble talk. And even had they lost this final, Massey says their main focus of bringing a first league title to the club in 19 years remains undiminished.

“If we had lost there would have been a bit more pressure for us to go out and win it,” said Massey of clinching the title. “But all we can do now is go on and win our last five games. It’s in our hands and I don’t thinkanyone is going to take it off us.”
