Last season, the team competed in the First Division, where they clinched the championship title and secured promotion to the Premier Division-the pinnacle of Irish football. However, the start of the new season has been less than ideal: their match against Shamrock Rovers was postponed after a pitch inspection due to heavy rain. As a result, the team currently sits in 8th place with zero points. Nonetheless, their current form inspires optimism-seven wins and two losses in their last ten outings suggest they are in good playing shape. Their scoring prowess is particularly impressive, averaging 2.7 goals per match and finding the net in nearly every game. However, some defensive inconsistency could pose a significant challenge in their clash with Derry City.
