Another brilliant month as we beat Cobh Ramblers in the Munster Senior Cup to reach the Final and also beat Linfield to make another All Ireland Cup Final.
Whilst in the league we drew with Dundalk before winning our other 4 league games with youth intake player Maher really coming to the fore in recent weeks.

Just 9 points clear after dropping points to UCD with Doherty top of the assists charts but we seem to spread out our league goals too much and never have anyone fighting for the Golden Boot.

Thanks man, In regards to getting into the Champions League it is definitely down to the luck of the draw but also i may be seeded for the Qualifiers as we have gone up in the rankings so again our draw could be easier

I never like drawing at home as it gives them the advantage in the second leg but it didnt matter, So i thought we were going out in the very first round but up popped Rory Gaffney with literally seconds left of the match to net the winner and put us through to the next rnd.

So it wasnt a very good month in the league as we lost twice this season more than we had for the whole of the season before this month and then only drew with Dundalk, Our only win was against Bohemians with Keogh scoring on the debut.

Champions League 3rd Qualifying rnd V Rabotnicki

Keogh's money was well worth it after these couple of games after we dominate away from home but it was his only goal that won it for us before destroying them back in Ireland with Keogh grabbing the first goal of many.

So in the away game we struggled for chances for most of the match and even went 1-0 down before Doherty single-handedly got us back into the tie with a quick brace.
The home game was more of the same as we had plenty of chances but had Doherty to thank yet again for sending us through to the Champions League Group Stages

Last time round i was about 8 seasons in when we gained another spot and a group stage place but for the next few seasons we would have it one year then the next year lose it, im hoping to establish ourselves and the league enough to gain 2 permanent champs lge spots.
