Lovely set up at Ballymun , out towards airport , only a very slow 30 min drive from Dublin Ferryport.
Bit of a windy crossing.
Unbeaten league leaders Crumlin United were in town and did a professional job on the ”mun” to the delight of their travelling fans.
Ballymun need the points but aren’t in immediate danger of relegation. EDIT. They just about stayed up with Crumlin easily winning the league.

En route now to Dunboyne v Portlaoise in the Lummy O’Reilly Cup QF with time for a couple of pints before and after. Guinness of course or I might nip into Slevins after game to see if they have any craft beer/s on , they’ll certainly have local bottles !But they’ll be bloody expensive.
Arrived at this out of town ground , about a mile west of centre on the R156 with plenty of car parking available.
It was a choice of 1 for this afternoon fix , afernoon games are not common in the Republic at this level. Nowadays with a sudden likeness of 3G pitches and teams having lights Friday is becoming very popular.
