Prediction Challenger 2 - Robert Mackin

Credit:

Thanks to all who responded yesterday to our competition. The answer to the question was, of course, Shelbourne. Robert Mackin was first in with the correct answer and will be bidding to beat a score of four that was posted last week by his fellow Louth man, Vincent Duffy.

Robert, in his 30s, is a born and bred Dundalk man who has been going to Oriel Park since he was 8. His memory of watching the Lilywhites stretches back to a time when Limerick FC were managed by Billy Hamilton and wore a yellow away strip. As a ball boy he witnessed European campaigns up close against the likes of Ajax and Red Star Belgrade. He is delighted Dundalk are back in their "rightful home" of the Premier Division and is passing on the tradition of following D'Town by bringing his young son to all their home and away matches.

Representing extratime this week is Graeme McQueen, who will be looking to overtake Gordon Hunt's efforts last week and become our top tipster. JIMMY has gone for some low-scoring affairs in the Premier Division and reckons Sporting Fingal will further enhance their goal difference when they travel to Century Homes Park to take on Monaghan.
