Statement from Robbie Horgan                                                  June 26th 2019

It’s with a very heavy heart and great sadness that due to health reasons l am leaving my post as senior manager of Drogheda Town FC. It’s been a very tough year for myself and my family since l got seriously ill with Sepsis in March of this year. As most of you will know l was in an induced coma but was one of the lucky ones to pull through after spending a month in the Intensive care unit in Navan hospital. After coming out of the induced coma the fantastic nurses and doctors told me the road that lay ahead was a long one but l would fully recover within 3-18 months. All l heard was the 3 months part and l set a goal of getting myself fully right for that time and to go back to life as it was before l got ill. I went back for my 3 month check up at the end of June and they told me l had made significant progress but l am only halfway there and l have to go back in 3 months time for further checks.I convinced myself l be ok to go back to do what l love best football but l was no where near it. Because it’s not just physical it’s the phycological/mental side that really takes over when you have been through a serious illness and that’s the end l have struggled to come to terms with. So l need to step away from football for now which is one of the hardest decisions l have ever had to make as l have been doing this professionally for the last 33 years and this time l am not going to put a date on it but hopefully in 2020 I can get back to full health and batteries recharged. I always gave 100% to everything l did and if l can’t do that then l cannot do the job as it needs to be done. I have so many people to thank and l will do this in a private post over the weekend. However I would very much like to thank the man that brought me into the club Mick Toner who has shown great support and backed me all the way and who also was very supportive to my wife and family since my illness. He allowed me to bring the professional environment that l am used to into the already fantastic facilities of Blackstone Marian Park and l will be forever grateful. Finally but most importantly to all the players and staff over the last three and a half years my sincerest thanks to each and everyone of you and l wish you all the best for now and in the future. Along this journey l have met some fantastic people and also have made some wonderful friends for life.

​Thank you Drogheda Town FC.
Robbie Horgan

Club Response


​Drogheda Town FC are sad to see Robbie's three and a half years at the helm come to an end. It's been a tough year for Robbie and family and we fully understand his reasons behind his decision. In his time at the club his approach was very professional and from day one his changes showed that. He appointed a physio, a kit man and his training sessions which had quality only seen at an elite level. He also worked with the next generation of players at the club which seen three U17/18 players making their senior debuts in the Leinster Senior League in the 2018/19 season.

Drogheda Town would like to thank Robbie Horgan for his commitment in his time at the club and wish him all the best for the future. We hope he can make a full recovery and some day see him return to football."

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.

Under 13 Eagles soar high to retain premier title!

Picture
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. 
Picture
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.
