Having made the semi-final last season, the team was particularly determined not to let this opportunity to play in a major cup final elude them. On the way they beat St Mochta's 3-1 in Porterstown in October, before overcoming then league-toppers Glenville by the only goal at the Theatre of Dreams in mid-February. The quarter-final draw pitted us against rivals from last season Lucan Utd., who we beat 5-2. This brought us to a semi-final bout with St James's Gate, which we edged 2-1 thanks to a super free kick from Danny O'Reilly and a late winner by Brian Martin.

There is just one league game left to be played away, vs Rathcoole Boys in Frank Cox Park on Sun 20th, KO 11.00 a.m.  

Many congrats to Vernon, Des and all of the players on what has turned out to be another fine season.

Our First Saturday Team Manager, Morgan Hughes played his last game of the season this evening, Despite losing, and having been deducted 15 points earlier in the season, Morgan has avoided being relegated from his division. Well done to Morgan and all his team, for their hard work and dedication after an a season that was truly unthinkable for all involved. We would like to congratulate Morgan and all his players for keeping it together, and to continue to see out the season after all that happened. The last post, we were congratlating Morgan on getting his UEFA B Licence.

Morgan rang me this evening, and informed me that he had informed his players, and was now informing The Chairman, that this was his last game with Dunboyne A.F.C. Morgan stated personal and family reasons for his decision, and that he wanted to find a Club nearer to his home in Navan. We are truly sorry to see Morgan going, as he has been part of the Club for years, and has coached at every level, from under age to Senior Level, and his dedication, passion, commitment and true character cannot be bought or sold. I personally am extremely dissapointed to see a good friend, a brilliant coach and a true gentleman leave the Club, and he will leave a void that will be very hard to fill, both on and off the pitch, and I am sure that every member of the Club from Tots to Seniors will share these sentiments with me. Morgan will fulfill his agreement that he has with the Coaching Committee to do some sessions as part of the overall Coaching Plan.

We are all sad, and dissapointed to see Morgan move on, but as we all know, Family comes first. Morgan we wish you and your family all the very best for the future, which we are certain will be a good future in Coaching, and Development of the game.

Best Wishes Morgan

Eugene and Every Single Person in Dunboyne A.F.C.
