Perth wants Irish football family to back Dundalk

Dundalk head coach Vinny Perth has called on Irish football fans to support his side as their Europa League qualifying campaign continues in Tallaght Stadium on Tuesday, after seeing his side progress to the second round of the FAI Cup with a 1-0 victory over Cobh Ramblers.

“I think it’s very important - and I’m a big follower of Irish teams when they play in Europe — I think Irish football probably needs to get behind us, and I think it’s good for the league if we progress,” said Perth after the hard-earned Cup win in St Colman’s Park.
