Pat Fenlon: Dundalk fired up for trip to Tallaght

The season might still be young but three games in the next seven days will tell a lot about Dundalk’s ability to successfully defend their Airtricity League title.

The league leaders will be at home to Galway on Monday but their busy week will be bookended by two testing away days, at Turner’s Cross next Friday and, tonight, at Tallaght Stadium (8pm).

On his return to his former club Shamrock Rovers — who are four points behind but remain unbeaten in the league under Pat Fenlon — Lilywhites manager Stephen Kenny has a full squad from which to choose and no intention of settling for a point.
