FIXTURES CONFIRMED: LEINSTER CUP & MALONE CUP

Ciarán Kilduff will take charge of his first competitive match as Dundalk manager against Malahide United at Oriel Park on Friday 17th January, as our Leinster Senior Cup schedule has been confirmed. The Lilywhites will compete in Group B of the competition, with the top two advancing, and they face quick-fire back-to-back home games. The match against Malahide was originally due to take place at Gannon Park but the club have facilitated United's request to move it to Oriel. Kick-off is 7.45pm. Three days later, on Monday 20th January, Usher Celtic are the visitors to Oriel Park for the second match of the group, kick-off again 7.45pm. Dundalk complete their Leinster Senior Cup group with a trip to face Shamrock Rovers at Roadstone on Friday 7th February, kick-off 8pm, in what will be Kilduff’s side’s final warm-up game ahead of the First Division opener at home to Athlone Town on Friday 14th February. The club can also confirm that our Malone Cup match against Drogheda United has been fixed for Oriel Park on Friday 31st January, kick-off 7.45pm. Ticket details for our home pre-season matches will be confirmed in due course.
