Seven Goals Without Reply

On Saturday 26th January 2006 "The Town" was at home to Mount Tallant in a match that went that was marked by chaotic defending, a midfield in disarray and a failure to capitalise on any chance. The game produced the worst ever result recorded by the "A" Squad in the Leinster Senior League to-date. With three goals conceded by half time, disagreement dogged the squad during the break with blame and counter blame filling the air. The second half opened with the loss of the very talented Thomas Downey dropped by the manager for misconduct. This air of despondency carried through for the first twenty minutes or so of the half before the lads of "The Town" finally found form - but alas, too little and way too late. Chances came one after another in the closing fifteen minutes of the game but luck clearly abandoned the lads as none could find the back of the Mount Tallant net. The visitors managed four further goals in the second half to inflict on "The Town" its greatest defeat ever. Final score: DLTFC 0 : Mount Tallant 7
