I shall bang the drum for Dundalk FC, the League of Ireland Premier Division team from County louth. I have given them space before on:
http://baileyfootballblog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/martlets-they-have-branches-everywhere_74.html which you can access and if you wanted to there is another mention but I shall let you search that out yourself.
So this evening as my other half and I were recovering from a MacDonalds (she had the veggie version) at Leicester Forest East, I thought of the Foxes' great effort in the Champions League this week and then by another coincidence heard that Dundalk FC had achieved another major surprise in the Europa League by holding AZ Alkmaar from Holland to a 1-1 draw. It's a great effort you know, and to make it even more impressive the Irish boys were 0-1 down after 60 minutes and had lost Stephen O'Donnell, who had mustered 2 yellow cards and was given his marching orders.
Not ones to give in easily, the Lilywhites fought back and nicked an equaliser with 89 minutes gone, following a free kick from Daryl Horgan who supplied Ciaran Kilduff with a header.
The goal is worth 120,000 Euros they tell us. In two weeks they meet Macccabi from Tel Aviv.
