The Bohemian Foundation was today officially launched by Lord Mayor of Dublin Críona Ní Dhálaigh at a reception in the Mansion House.
In attendance were local TDs Paschal Donohoe (Minster for Sport), Maureen O’Sullivan, Mary-Lou McDonald, Cllr Larry O’Toole, directors and volunteers of the Bohemian Foundation and Bohemian FC, and members of the press.
Bohemian FC urges all members, fans and the wider Bohemian family to make this an election issue with their respective local candidates across the city.
These plans, something the club worked tirelessly on in recent years to bring to fruition, represent a best-case scenario for Dalymount Park.
They represent something that will serve Bohemian FC, football in Ireland, the City of Dublin and our local communities for generations to come.
Dalymount has payed a unique part, chiefly in the sporting, but also in the political, musical and cultural history of this city and country. Let’s see that continued for another 115 years.
Fifteen years ago today, Roddy Collins’ Bohemians completed the most memorable Dublin derby comeback of all time.
It was a turning point in a season which saw Bohs overtake Shelbourne on the final round of fixtures to clinch the club’s first league title in 23 years before beating Longford Town in the FAI Cup final one week later to secure the Double for the first time since 1928.
A 10-minute hat-trick from debutant Kurtis Byrne saved Bohemians’ blushes away to Cabinteely in our first pre-season game of 2016 last night.
The First Division side stunned Bohs and led 3-0 thanks to goals from Michael Brown (penalty), Mark Slater and Darren Clarke.
But former Dundalk man Byrne’s goals on 71, 76 and 81 minutes salvaged a draw for the Gypsies, who welcome Shelbourne to Dalymount Park this Sunday at 2pm.
THURSDAY JANUARY 28th, DALYMOUNT PARK, 8pm sharp (Bars open from 7pm)
