Graham Gartland's antics in the Annaly after winning the Cup.

'He never f*cks up,
he sh@gs the Cup'....

Priceless!

Foot and Mouth had meant an enforced break of a month or so and that was the first game back. Keith O'Connor got the winner and we had to endure about ten minutes injury time. The players and staff celebrated as though we'd won the cup itself, doing dives in front of the fans etc and there was a good couple of hundred Town fans going mental as well. Fun times. Then there was the 2003 Final..

ah how can I forget the cup match in incicore i won over hundred euros on the town beatin pats that night and went to angels and celebrated my winnings!!

One of my memories was back in the day when St. Francis were in the League. We played them in the Strokestown Road as it was known then. It was either Kenny's first or second season. Was in the old Guinness stand in the corner with a mate of mine, things going well, 2-0 up with about 10 minutes left. St. Francis pull a goal back and my mate turns to me laughing saying we'll do a Wimbledon!!! Earlier that day Wimbledon were playing West Ham and were 3-1 up and West Ham came back with 3 late goals to win 4-3. Well by the end of our game my mate was lucky he didn't comeout of the Strokestown Road with a broken nose!!! Yes De Town shipped 3 late goals in the last 10 minutes to somehow lose 3-2!!!!

Not a good memory but its probably the main one of the old days that sticks in my head. Can look back on it now and laugh but that night I was nearly in tears!!!!

Oh there have been some great ones!

Stuart Holts free kick against St. Pats

Ballybofey - brilliant night

Vaduz - again as said before the walk from the town to the pitch was just unreal

Being the only girl on a bus to Drogheda one night after being "told" that everyone was booked on. Watched the game in the company of the legend Matt Murtagh (R.I.P) that night

Cup Finals 2003/2004

A night in Bray when I fell in love with Stuart Byrne HAHA

I'm sure there are loads more. Overall the people I've met and the friends I've made are the best!! Always have a laugh!

can you remember who scored for us that day townlegend??

**Town Legend** · 09/03/2009, 8:23 PM

Haven't a clue Marty. For some reason though Zellor sticks out in my mind for scoring one. Will google it and see if I get any answers!!!

**Town Legend** · 09/03/2009, 8:39 PM

Jaysus my memory is so bad!!!

It went from 1-0 Longford to 1-1 and then with 10 mins left we went 2-1 up only to concede 2 late goals in last 5 mins. Vinny scored from a penalty and Mark Devlin got the other one.
