Series 3 Recap (4 March-5 March 2022)

South East rivals Waterford and Wexford FC set the pace after Series 3 in the SSE Airtricity First Division, with Waterford remaining top despite dropping their first points of the season in a 2-2 draw at Eamonn Deacy Park versus hosts Galway United. Wexford FC won 2-1 at Ferrycarrig Park to move second after the defeat of Athlone Town, who were still pointless. Galway United were fifth following the result, with two more Munster teams (Cork City and Treaty United) in third and fourth respectively, after both drew 0-0 away to Longford Town and Cobh Ramblers respectively. The game at Bishopsgate was Longford’s first of the season, moving them up to sixth, with Cobh in seventh. Bray Wanderers remained bottom after the series having not played at the weekend. Reference: [1-2]

Series 4 Recap (11-12 March 2022)

With Treaty United FC v Longford Town FC postponed, leaving the teams on just two games and one game played respectively, there were just three games played in Series 4 in the First Division, and those games all saw a win for teams in the top three – Waterford FC defeated Wexford FC 2-1 in a South East derby to remain top, and with Wexford FC losing Cork City FC and Galway United were able to leap-frog them into second and third with wins over Cobh Ramblers FC and Bray Wanderers FC. Cork would be especially happy with a victory in their Leeside derby with Cobh. Reference: [1-2]

Series 5-6 Recap (14 March and 18 March 2022)

Cork City FC and Galway United FC moved top of the SSE Airtricity League First Division with two wins each over the course of St. Patrick’s Festival week. Cork City were in pole position with wins over Waterford FC (2-0) and Treaty United FC (4-0). Treaty United also lost at Galway United (1-2) with the Connacht team winning at Athlone Town, also by a 2-1 scoreline, in what were two important victories for the Eamonn Deacy Park team against Shannon rivals. The loss to Cork in an all-Munster tie was Waterford FC’s first of the season, and the South East team slipped to third. Wexford FC had a big 0-3 reverse at home in Ferrycarrig Park to Longford Town FC, who earned their first win of the season to move sixth. Bray Wanderers got off the bottom rung with wins away to Longford Town (2-1) and Cobh Ramblers (1-0), with the Cork team dropping to second last. Athlone Town remained last with four losses from four games, including a 2-3 loss at home to Cobh. Treaty United were also on four points with Cobh after the losses to Galway and Cork. [Reference: 1-2]

Series 7 Recap (25 March 2022)

Cork City FC took over sole possession of the top spot with a 4-1 defeat of still pointless Athlone Town AFC. Cork’s nearest challengers Galway United FC lost 2-1 away to Longford Town FC which put the midlanders fourth on goal difference with seven points and three games in hand on the leaders. Treaty United FC joined Longford on seven points after a 2-1 victory over Munster rivals Waterford FC, as did both Bray Wanderers FC and Wexford FC after the two South East teams drew 0-0 in the Carlisle Grounds.

[References: 1-2]

Series 10-11 Recap (15-18 April 2022)

Cork City FC, Galway United FC and Longford Town FC continued to be the pacesetters in the SSE Airtricity First Division with Cork on 23 points following a 0-0 draw at home to Bray Wanderers FC in a game they would have been expected to take all three points from, and a 2-1 win at Waterford FC. Galway United were three points back following a 1-0 at Waterford, but have a game in hand on the leaders after having a bye series on the 18th of April. Longford Town had two games to make up on the leaders having also had a bye week on series 10, the 15th of April, but won 2-1 on Easter Monday at Bray to move within six points of the Leesiders. Treaty United and Waterford were both in mid-table on 15 and 14 points respectively, as Treaty moved ahead of Waterford with a 2-1 win at Markets Field versus Wexford FC after drawing 1-1 at Athlone Town AFC on Good Friday. Wexford FC moved above Bray into sixth with a 4-2 win at home to fellow strugglers Cobh Ramblers in a high-scoring game.

Series 12 Recap (22-23 April 2022)

Cork City FC maintained their three point lead at the top of the SSE Airtricity League First Division with a 3-2 win at Cobh Ramblers in the Cork derby. Cork were now on 26 Points three ahead of nearest rivals Galway United FC who stayed within touching distance of them with a 2-0 victory at Eamonn Deacy Park versus Bray Wanderers FC. Longford Town slipped five points behind Galway after being held 0-0 by Treaty United at Bishopsgate, while Waterford FC moved above the Limerick team into fourth, a point behind Longford after a 2-0 victory at Wexford FC. [References: 1-2]

Series 13 Recap (29 April 2022)

Cork City FC and Galway United FC continued on winning ways, with Longford Town FC in third place slipping further back after losing 4-1 at Turner’s Cross. Galway’s victory over Treaty United FC at Market’s Field meant the Limerick side missed the chance to go above Longford and Waterford FC into third. At the other end of the table Bray Wanderers FC and Cobh Ramblers FC drew 1-1 at the Carlisle Grounds in a result that suits neither team as they try to get closer contact to mid-table. Athlone Town were still searching for that first win after losing 0-3 at home to Wexford FC, which kept Wexford in touch with mid-table Longford, Waterford and Treaty United [References: 1-2]

Report

Alessio Abibi’s heroics in goal during the Penalty Shootout gained Dundalk the 2021 FAI President’s Cup after he saved two penalties in their 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Shamrock Rovers. The 10-men Lilywhites went ahead after 42 minutes of the traditional curtain-raiser to the season between the League and FAI Cup Champions, after Sonny Nattestad put them ahead, heading in a Patrick McEleny cross, only for Liam Scales to equalise for Shamrock Rovers just before half-time. Nattestad turned Villain shortly afterwards when sent off for a reckless challenge, but Rovers could not find a break-through in the 90 minutes before Abibi’s heroics in goal during the penalty shootout which Dundalk won 4-3.

Report

Series 1-5 28 March-26 April 2021

Athlone Town and Shelbourne were the early pacesetters in the SSE Airtricity League First Division in 2021. Athlone had won four of their first five matches and Shelbourne three with both teams undefeated. Also undefeated were UCD and new team from Limerick, Treaty United who had both won two of their five matches. Cabinteely and Cobh Ramblers were in mid-table while still seeking a win were Bray Wanderers, Galway United and Wexford FC, with Wexford still pointless. Cork City had three points from one win and four losses, below Bray (4 draws) and Galway (3 draws).

Series 6 30 April – 1 May 2021

Athlone Town lost their first match of the season, 1-2 at home to Cabinteely, but still held top spot as Shelbourne could only draw 2-2 at home to Treaty United who remained in fourth. UCD leapfrogged Shelbourne into second with a 6-0 win at Wexford FC. Cabinteely kept touch of pace at the top with that win at Athlone while Galway United’s 4-0 win away to Cobh Ramblers saw them jump two places into sixth. Cobh dropped down below both Galway and Bray Wanderers following that defeat and Bray’s 0-0 draw at home to Cork City. Wexford FC remained pointless at the foot of the table.
