BOHS GO FOUR IT

Written by Luke O'RiordanFebruary 28, 2016

Goals from Keith Buckley, Izzy Akinade, Kurtis Byrne and Derek Prendergast gave Bohemians a 4-1 victory against Athlone Town at Dalymount Park on Saturday in their final pre-season game before the league kicks off next Friday.

The visitors took the lead through Emeka Onwubiko on 13 minutes but Bohs hit back on 44 minutes when Buckley was on hand to fire home the rebound after Akinade’s initial effort was parried away.

An Akinade header on 45 minutes gave Bohs the advantage just on the stroke of half-time before second-half goals from Byrne (47) and Prendergast (71) added gloss to the win.

Bohemians welcome DCC plans for Dalymount Park

Written by Luke O'RiordanFebruary 5, 2016

Bohemian FC welcomes the Dublin City Council plans for the redevelopment of Dalymount Park, which have appeared in the media today.

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.
