The First Division Champions will make the long journey down to St.Colmans Park to face second place Cobh Ramblers.
Last Time Out:
Cobh made the journey up to Bishopsgate to face Longford Town. Longford ended up securing the three points in a 3 – 1 win with goals from Aaron Doran, Alex O’Brien and Stefan Ugbesia, while Barry Coffey added to his goals tally scoring for Cobh.
Dundalk were crowned First Division Champions last Friday night as they beat Donegal side Finn Harps in their last home game of the season. Goals from Gbemi Arubi, Daryl Horgan and Vinnie Leonard secured the 3 points and the First Division title for the home side.

Key Players:
Cobh Ramnlers: Barry Coffey has been the stand out player for cobh this season with 26 goals in 36 matches, making him the highest goal scorer in the First Division this season.
Dundalk: Gbemi Arubi has been a key player for Dundalk this season with 12 goals in 28 matches for the Lilywhites.
Prediction:
Cobh Ramblers 1 – 2 Dundalk.
Although it is a dead rubber for both teams with Cobh gauranteed 2nd place while Dundalk are Champions, I still think that Ciaran Kilduffs side will have just too much for Mick McDermotts side this Friday night.
