Well done to all our coaches who completed the FAI Safe Guarding 1 course recently. Many thanks to Mark Scanlon for his support.

Busy weekend for our academy, United park and the visit of Ardee academy.

Hard luck to our U15 squad today, narrowly beaten by St. Kevin’s away in Shanowen Road. Goals from Patrick McGeary and Adam Kelly in the first half pulled it back to 2-2 at the break. McGeary broke away again in the second have to level things up at 3-3. The last 10 minutes saw 2 penalty decisions go against DTFC, who fought to the very end. The club are very proud of these players and have high hopes going into the new NDSL season. Well done lads. Thanks to all our supporters on the day. Great to see on the sideline.

Well done to our U12's - Winning the recent 5 aside in Donacarney FC

Under 13 Eagles soar high to retain premier title!

Drogheda Town Eagles U13 clinched their second league title in two seasons after a hard fought draw against local rivals Donacarney. An early goal from Calum Sheedy allowed the home team take control the early exchanges, however the visitors soon bounced back with goals either side of half time. Showing why they were the league's top team, DTFC dug deep and levelled the game. Great work on the wing from Joe Comiskey gave Ryan Connolly the simplest of tasks, firing in from close range. Energetic displays from Adam Kelly and Fionn Meagher in the middle of the park continued to drive DTFC forward, however nothing could separate the teams in the end with both defences remaining solid. Cup presentation to follow. Well done to all involved on another terrific season.

Division 1 Champions !!!

Drogheda Town Under 14's last night beat Drogheda Marsh Crescent 3-2 at Marian Park to close out the division one title.
An early goal by Alan Donnelly put DTFC one up, quickly followed by a Dean Almond Strike to make it 2-0.
Matthew Eccles then had a great chance to make it 3 but saw his shot from a corner go over the bar.
Again, DTFC never let their heads drop dominating the 2nd half and only the crossbar and post along with some great saves by they DMC goal keeper kept the scores level at 2-2. With little over 10 minutes left to play, Alan Donnelly score the
vital winning goal to seal the Division title.

Well done to the whole squad and management team, fantastic achievement.

Here is just a flavour of what's in store ......

Drogheda Town Under 14's continued their excellent run of form, beating Dromin 3-2 today. Dave McEvoy opened the scoring after a great through ball by Sean White, to put us 1 up. A good Dromin team then turned the game on its head, scoring either side of half time and turning up the pressure. What was most impressive was the DTFC response. Rather than letting heads drop, they quickly battled back to level the game, Sean White again in the right place at the right time. DTFC were now in command and pushing hard for a winner. Keeping this impressive run alive, again it was White who pounced to score a vital winner.

This latest win now sets the team up to close out the division as champions. One point is now needed away at Duleek to take the crown! So, get down to Duleek on Tuesday evening and cheer the lads on! As much support as possible would be greatly appreciated by the players. Kick off is 7:00pm, best of luck Barry, Sean and the lads.
