Dundalk FC claimed their first major piece of silverware this season with a penalty shootout victory over Derry City at The Brandywell Stadium on Saturday night.
Chris Shields stroked home the winning spot-kick, which led to 'Dundalk Municipal District's' Twitter account to call for immediate action!

We'll leave the last word with superfan Danny O'Connell. John Gill: one of the best!
He got us promoted in 2008 and he's back to win more trophies with us, bigger ones to come
