Dún Laoghaire Town 1 : Brighton Celtic 2

The opening match for the "B" Squad was very much a home derby against Cornelscourt based Brighton Celtic on Tuesday 21st August 2007 at Shanganagh. For many in the squad this was their first ever experience of a league game and they were naturally nervous at the start, but that didn't last long. Dún Laoghaire Town's Timson Aigbe (pictured above) laid claim to the "B" Squad's first goal in the Leinster Senior League to equalise with an early goal by the visitors. Manager Abrahim Abdul-Wahid made some tactically changes in the second half in an effort to take the game to the opposition. However, the sides were level for much of the game until a penalty gave Brighton Celtic the lead, though, many would say that the woodwork consistently denied "The Town" a late equaliser leaving the score as DLTFC 1 : Brighton Celtic 2.
