After the first year non-teachers were allowed to join and the name was changed to Sunderland AFC (perhaps the teachers found the £10 a year for rent for their field too expensive and needed players with better paid jobs).

Promotion to the first division was not automatic until 1898: the top two teams in the second division had to play "test matches" against the bottom two from the first to decide their divisions for the next season.

Dundalk’s morale received a timely boost on Monday night when Philip Hughes, the top scorer in the eircom League in 2006, agreed a new deal which will keep him at Oriel Park for next season.

Having already spoken of his desire to play Premier Division football next season, Hughes had been expected to move on, with Bohemians and former club St Patrick’s Athletic among the clubs said to have been considering a move for the 26-year-old front man.
