Oriel Park Ciarán Fisher reports from Oriel Park Under clear blue skies and an oppressive heat, David McMillian’s solitary goal was enough for the Lilywhites to see off the visiting Finn Harps side 1-0 at Oriel Park on Saturday afternoon. The last time these sides met Dundalk lost 2-1. A result that was cited, by some, as a glaring failure of previous management to set up correctly for notoriously competitive opposition. Vinny Perth would have been keen to not allow the same accusations fall on him. Things started well for the hosts and they looked the much more likely to score. In particular, David McMillian was lively up front. He fired a warning shot, or header rather, four minutes in - sneaking between two blue shirts for what seemed a relatively innocuous cross- to unnerve Ollie Horgan’s side. Not ten minutes later, he rattled the post from a similar position.
