  • European Champions
    CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to the SSE Airtricity League guide to Irish clubs in European competitions ahead of the start of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League and Europa League season. This guide has all the necessary statistics and facts you will need to cover the SSE Airtricity League clubs’ journey in Europe this campaign and I’d like to thank Michael Hayes in the FAI Competitions Department for creating this guide. Each season, we all look forward to seeing our clubs compete in European competition and last season definitely didn’t disappoint. Dundalk grabbed the headlines across the continent for their exploits in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League. Stephen Kenny managed his side through difficult ties against FH Hafnarfjordur and BATE Borisov to lead the Lilywhites to the UEFA Champions League play-offs against Legia Warsaw. After a valiant display in Warsaw, they were narrowly beaten on aggregate but still qualified for the Europa League group stages. Great results against AZ Alkmaar and Maccabi Tel Aviv followed and the run in Europe showed the very best of domestic Irish football. Whilst Dundalk grabbed the headlines, Cork City also enjoyed a successful run in the Europa League. Wins over Linfield and Swedish Cup winners BK Hacken set up a third qualifying round tie against Genk. They were narrowly beaten by the Belgian side who went on to reach the quarter-finals of the competition. Looking ahead to this season, it’ll be great to see Derry City back in European competition, a club with a proud tradition in European competition.

  • Shamrock Rovers and the Return to Kevin O'connor to Cork City
    CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to the 2019 SSE Airtricity League. It is great to have the domestic game back and this is a truly exhilarating time of the year. Last season proved to be exciting throughout the campaign as Dundalk secured the domestic double, the SSE Airtricity League and the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup in emphatic style. Stephen Kenny's proved to be the team to beat last season after a fantastic campaign as Pat Hoban led the goalscoring charts with 29 goals. The Lilywhites will have a period of adjustment though after Stephen Kenny left for the FAI to take on the Republic of Ireland Under-21 position before moving into the senior role in 2020. John Gill has gone into Dundalk to work with Vinny Perth so it will be interesting to see how the Champions get used to life without Stephen. There are a number of teams who have made some noteworthy additions during the off-season with the likes of Chris Forrester and Mikey Drennan at St. Patrick's Athletic, Aaron Drinan at Waterford, Jack Byrne at Shamrock Rovers and the return to Kevin O'Connor to Cork City. I truly believe that this will be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory in both the Premier and First Division. Shelbourne have made some fantastic signings with Ciaran Kilduff returning to the domestic game and Paul Keegan has made the step down to the First Division with Bray Wanderers. The beauty of the First Division is that anyone of the teams could challenge like Wexford Youths did in 2015, and to see Danny Furlong back at Ferrycarrig Park should excite us all.

    ISSUE ONE | SEPTEMBER 2020 1 WELCOME Welcome to the first-ever edition of ‘The Mighty Delta’, a fanzine devoted to the top four tiers of English football. I’m Steve, the captain aboard this flagship and, if you can indulge me for a moment, I’d like to fling some fanzine love in the direction of an old colleague of mine, Andy Packett. Three or so years ago, he and I would survey the tumbleweed blowing across the Playmaker website and wonder how we would ever get people to notice we had a (more than) half-decent football database on our hands. We’d chucked a few emojis around on Twitter, but were pretty much twisting in the wind. Then, one fateful day, we decided to follow our shared passion for the EFL and something clicked. For his sheer enthusiasm and love of the game (not to mention his ability to shoot from impossible angles at futsal), I’d like to dedicate this issue to ‘Packinfenwa’ and Team Packett. Nossa! I’ll now quickly pivot to the incredibly important business of bigging up The Graphic Bomb, namely Darren and John, who have helped turn the Delta dream into a reality. You’ll see for yourself that their design/illustration work is fantastic, and I know they’ve had to dig deep to make this happen. A massive thank you, guys - you know this already, but you’re the... Lastly, we’d like to put in print how much we appreciate the players (Nicky, Frank, Omar, Joe, Randell), coaches (Anthony), writers (Chris, James, other Joe), mascots (Glyn), photographers (Charlie), artists (Alex) and agents (Bruce!) who’ve given their time to this project.
