onight is the first time we’ve played a competitive Louth Derby in four years and we’re expecting a tough assignment against TDrogheda United. Their recruitment in the off-season was very shrewd. They brought in players that were here; Ronan Murray and , and they also signed Gary Deegan from Shelbourne, so they have a lovely balance. I watched them over the last two or three years when they were just pipped at the post in the First Division but last year they won it and they’ve got this really nice balance of youth in the right areas and experience in the right areas so it’s definitely going to be a tough task. Tim Clancy and his assistant Stephen McDonnell celebrates his goal against Drogheda United at Kevin Doherty have both done in 2010 a fabulous job and it’s great to have them back in the league. I Personally, I have good of where we want to go for wouldn’t know Tim overly well, memories of Louth Derbies.
