Dane Massey: Dundalk focus solely on the cup

There has been no time to even consider resting on their laurels for Dundalk as the countdown to their FAI Cup final date with Cork City intensifies.

And Dane Massey would have it no other way. Stephen Kenny’s side collected the SSE Airtricity League trophy following Friday’s 4-0 drubbing of Bray Wanderers at Oriel Park to complete back-to-back league titles for the first time in the club’s history.

But the celebrations were somewhat low-key as the focus soon turned to the Aviva Stadium this Sunday and a shot at a double. “Friday is done and dusted,” said left-back Massey. “We collected the trophy and we were straight back in (training) Saturday morning. No beers, just champagne, and that was it. Nobody was losing the head!”
