Daryl Horgan enjoys returns to Leeside

Though his former club may have beaten Dundalk in their two most recent meetings, Daryl Horgan isn’t getting into the champions ‘owing’ their chief rivals anything when they face Cork City at Turner’s Cross tonight.

The newly crowned SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers’ Association of Ireland Player of the Month for May is simply focused on Dundalk making it nine straight league wins.

And with it, stretch last season’s double winners’ lead at the top of the Premier Division to seven points going into the summer break. “I wouldn’t say we owe them one, I wouldn’t go along the lines of that,” said 23-year-old winger Horgan, having collected his third writers’ gong.
