On Fri Jul 22nd, Dundalk will host Finn Harps in a Premier Division match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Dundalk sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against St Patrick’s. Eoin Doyle struck first for St Patrick’s in the 15th minute, then Daniel Kelly tied it up for Dundalk in the 77th minute earning Dundalk at least a draw. Dundalk should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 9th placed Finn Harps, recorded a 1-2 loss against Derry City. Rob Jones struck first for Finn Harps in the 31st minute on a feed from Regan Donelon, then Ryan Graydon tied it up for Derry City in the 80th minute on a feed from Cameron Dummigan But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 93rd minute on a goal by James Akintunde. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 2 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Finn Park, Dundalk won by a score of 1 to 0. Kelly struck first for Dundalk in the 54th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Finn Harps couldn’t manage to score, and Dundalk took the shutout win.
Finn Harps’s most prolific scorer has been Ethan Boyle. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Robbie Benson and Keith Ward are the top scorers for Dundalk in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
