Daryl Horgan brace delivers another Dundalk win

Bohemians 0 Dundalk 2: A brace from Daryl Horgan gave table-toppers Dundalk the points from this keenly-contested encounter at Dalymount Park against a Bohemians side who have now lost three league games on the trot.

Horgan’s free kick set Dundalk on their way on 38 minutes before his header went in off Bohs goalkeeper Dean Delany for the second goal on 67 minutes.

The crowd of 2,015 saw the home side begin the first half defending the traditional tramway end of Dalymount Park with the low setting sun causing trouble as it blazed into the eyes of Delany. Delany coped well though and made good earlier interventions to deny David McMillan on 90 seconds and then Robbie Benson on five minutes. Dundalk kept up the pressure and Dane Massey was unlucky with his header that went over the bar when under pressure on 19 minutes.
