First Walkover Conceded in Club's History

On Saturday November 3rd 2007, a day that will live in infamy, Dún Laoghaire Town Football Club conceded its first ever walkover in its five year history. The "B" Squad was scheduled to play Tymon Rovers FC at Kingswood in Tallaght and due to "the flu" only six players were able to show up for this match at the meeting point outside Trinity College Dublin. Amongst those struck down by influenza was the Manager, Yahaya Shehu, who tried hard to call out a team from his sick bed. David Mooney from Dalkey was on hand to take over and met four of the players at Trinity with goalkeeper, Derek McAsey, arriving a few minutes later. In an effort to prevent further inconvenience to the lads of Tymon Rovers FC, frantic phone calls were made to their Secretary and the League Divisional Secretary, Dominic Quigley. The latter confirmed that our offer to reschedule the match and to pay for the referee was not acceptable and that Tymon Rovers FC opted for the walkover, three points and three goals. The "A" Squad, on the other hand, wasn't due to play this week and therefore, the lads settled down, no doubt pints in hand, to enjoy the Arsenal v Manchester United match that afternoon.
