Stephen Kenny’s son Eoin scored the winner for Dundalk as they ended a three-year drought in the annual pre-season clash.
Eoin Kenny reckons Dundalk are capable of beating anyone - and that last Friday’s Malone Cup win over FAI Cup holders Drogheda United should give them a huge confidence boost ahead of the new season.
