Robbie Benson eyes silver lining to Dundalk season

For a player conversant with numbers, Dundalk’s Robbie Benson knows he still has many years left in his footballing career.

The midfielder graduated from UCD with a masters degree in actuarial science, a mathematical qualification he intends utilising in the workplace, but not before his footballing ambitions are realised.

Last year’s maiden season with the Lilywhites delivered a league title and European journey, which included his stunning, volleyed goal against Legia Warsaw.
