Dundalk's newly-laid pitch gets its first outing tonight under newly installed floodlights.

Drogheda Utd were also Dundalk’s opponents for the first ever game on artificial grass at Oriel Park almost 21 years ago back on August 26th 2005.

On that occasion then First Division Dundalk hosted Paul Doolin’s side in the last 16 of the FAI Cup but it was the visitors who emerged victorious with Mark Leech’s goal on 42 minutes being added to by a Declan ‘Fabio’ O’Brien penalty eight minutes after the restart. Current Drogheda Utd goalkeeping coach Aaron Shanahan was in goal for Jim Gannon’s Lilywhites that day.
The sides in full were:
Dundalk: Aaron Shanahan; Mickey O’Kane, Stephen McGuinness, Simon Kelly, Shane Grimes; David Hoey, Thomas Morgan (Colin Finan 59), Paul Marney, Alan Murphy (Andrew Duffy 89); Ger McCarthy, David Bracken (Ciaran Hughes 59).
Drogheda Utd: Dan Connor; Simon Webb, Graham Gartland, Steven Gray, Jermaine Sandvliet, Damien Lynch; Gavin Whelan, Shane Robinson, Paul Keegan; Mark Leech (Mark Rooney 83), Declan O’Brien (Sami Ristilä 90).

Ireland edged past Canada after a 1-1 draw, winning 9-8 on penalties in a dramatic knockout clash. 👏

🏁 Vinnie Leonard delivered the assist for Ireland’s goal and buried a brilliant penalty into the top corner during the shootout, while Seán Spaight was an unused substitute.

Another massive result. On we go! 🍀⚽️
