Dundalk FC's good form continues with a youthful side progressing against Shelbourne in the Leinster Senior Cup with a 3 - 1 victory on Tuesday before a Declan McDaid brace secures a 2 - 1 victory over John Caulfield's Galway Utd.

Taking the momentum of victiory in Tolka Park into the second fixture of the weekend, Dundalk FC enjoy a happy Monday with a season best performance over St Patricks Athletic, where 2 first half strikes secure victory over the only team to get the better of the Lilywhites this season. Dundalk complete a great week with a draw against Derry City to take 7 points from 9 in a game they dominated but were forced to share the spoils due to momentary defensive lapses.

After a strong showing in Dalymount park on our last visit to the capital Dundalk enjoy a rollercoaster game in Tolka as an energetic start against a sluggish Shels sees the Lilywhites establish a 2 goal half time lead. A Sean Gannon inspired fightback saw Shels draw level before a late o.g. restored Dundalk's lead.
