With all the talk about the 4 Dublin clubs making the running their is a chance this weekend for that to start to happen. No Dublin Derbys for a change and if all 4 win there is a chaance to put a bit of daylight between the Dubs and the rest. 6 to 1 on Paddy Power for that accumelator but hard to see one of them not slipping up.
After the dissapointment of a poor performance in Drogheda hopefully a strong showing against Galway and 3 points although considering the Champions elect only beat them with an 87th minute goal last week we shouldnt be taking anythng for granted.
Can Dundalks good start continue??
If Cork slip up against UCD it will give Athlone and Bray the chance to draw lwvel with them at the top. Athlone under Hoop Stephen Gray performing well and should have the beating of Treaty.
Longford could do with a win over wexford or they could find themsleves getting tailed off
Look at you with your fancy paragraphs and all!
FIRST
High flying Athlone travel to Limerick. Kerry are looking to kick start their season but Harps will have other ideas. Bray 3rd take on Cobh who are outside the top 5.
PREMIER
Tough fixtures for Waterford 10th and Sligo 9th. League leaders Bohs welcome the impressive Dundalk.

Its a slippery slope. Next thing you know, people will be spelling correctly, using punctuation properly and all sorts !
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
* It's
Harps missing Max Hutchison (injury) and Perault Tokam (suspended) for the trip to Kerry. Which has me worried as Hutchison especially has been one of our most constant top performers since he signed a couple of years ago. Kerry has never been a good hunting ground for us even with a full squad to pick from

Would think this might be a step too far for the current Dundalk side, a good few out injured, Dervin suspended, Kearns prob gone for season and Minogue (GK) has only played one single PD game for the club, clean sheet mind.
Bohs don't concede too much, that said we have a decent away record with draws to Derry, Rovers and Gal, then again the Pats game was a right royal spanking, mostly self inflicted as they went for it, instead of absorbing pressure and settling into the game, all about learning.
Would think Derry are under real pressure to get a win and if Waterford don't pick anything up v Pats who are absolutely flying, I'd say Mr Daly could be the first to go in 2026.
Rovers prob are a banker at home to Gal but they are set up tight at the back usually.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Big pressure. A win would Drogs ahead of us, and see us in seventh, at best.
We've the news that Maher is out for another couple of months, but Beach has done alright in goals, bar a disastrous moment against Waterford.
If we keep a clean sheet tonight, we'll win.
Drogs under a bit of pressure too. Wont be a whole lot of movement in the table with results elsewhere if either side loses but it'd be signs of Drogheda regressing as a side. Itd just be more of Derry under performing. But Doherty needs some results too imo. Its very early to be suggesting any more than micro dips in form compared to last year but if they continue, and they dont look as annoying to play this season.
Unchanged starting XI for Kerry in MH Park. The big news is that Ryan Kelliher is in the matchday squad!
Ryan Kelliher on the bench for Kerry tonight, so might get 20-30 minutes later.
Goalkeeper Corey Sheridan also injured, and Darragh Coyle remains out. Not good to have injuries building up so early on.
Kerry lead at halftime. Halwax made a reasonable save. Murphy with the goal for Kerry. Harps finished the half strong. Goal line clearance after Halwax caught in no mans land. Game that can still go either way.
Bohs Dundalk is a cracker. Chances at both ends. Dundalk definitely coming to play. Horgan doing well, while Arubi is a real handful. We've had a few other chances, could do with a second goal as Dundalk look like they're in the mood to break our clean sheet run.
Nervy finish by Kerry. Held on to win 1-0. All Harps in the final 10 minutes plus injury time. Late second yellow and red for Borden. A win is a win. Will want to see better composure than that though if Kerry are going to make any challenge for the playoffs. Improved display overall. Sean McGrath had a great game.
kilduff doing some job at dundalk to be fair.
Rovers were effective tonight win against Waterford next and ill call that a good start
Kerry are brutal, Harps were horrible tonight. Still had enough chances to win the game ten times over. Thats a long run back up the road after a dismal performance.
Great result for Dundalk considering only one senior outfield player on the bench.
Young Spaight was super, and his assist was great. Dundalks production line of Defenders is a sight to behold...
Hard to see Lynch and Daly last the weekend.
