Celtic Legends too good for Dundalk

Celtic Legends showed they still have a touch of class at Oriel Park yesterday after beating Dundalk’s 2002 FAI Cup winning side 2-0 in a fundraising match.

Pierre van Hooijdonk gave the Hoops the advantage midway through the first half with a 25-yard lob with Brian O’Neil putting the game to bed six minutes from time when he slotted past Steve Williams from 10 yards after a neat pass from Regi Blinker.

Keith Wallace has a full report on the game over on Oriel Updates, which can be read here.

Dundalk United?

Thanks to Keith Wallace for spotting this little gem from SportsNewsIreland, who seem to think our local football club are called Dundalk United.

Bit of a tip to the lads, if you’re going to run a sports website, you should at least get the names of the clubs you’re writing about right.
