The1981 FAI Cup Final was the final match of the 1980–81FAI Cup, a knock-outassociation football competition contested annually by clubs affiliated with theFootball Association of Ireland. It took place on Sunday 26 April 1981 atDalymount Park inDublin, and was contested byDundalk andSligo Rovers. The competition was sponsored byMitre. Dundalk won the match 2–0 to win the cup for the seventh time.

Background

[edit]

The two sides' two previous meetings that season had been in theLeague, with Dundalk winning both matches – including a 3–0 victory inThe Showgrounds inSligo two weeks earlier. Dundalk had finished as runners-up in the1980–81 League of Ireland, and had already won that season'sLeague Cup.^[1] To reach the final they had defeated non-League Hammond Lane (1–0),St Patrick's Athletic (2–0 in a replay following a 1–1 draw),Drogheda United (1–0 in a replay following a 0–0 draw), andFinn Harps (1–0).^[2]

Sligo Rovers were the underdogs, having finished 11th in the League, and were playing in their fifthFAI Cup final. They had lost in all four of their previous appearances, most recently in 1978. They had overcome UCD (2–1 in a replay following a 1–1 draw),Home Farm (3–0), andWaterford (1–0 in a replay following a 2–2 draw) to reach the final.^[3]

The match was not broadcast live. Highlights were shown that evening on theRTÉ showSports Scene, with commentary fromJimmy Magee.^{[citation needed]}

Match

Summary

[edit]

Dundalk were made heavy favourites going into the match, which both managers sought to use as motivation for their players.^[4] The match, described in press reports as "wind-spoiled",^[5] had an undistinguished first half, but seven minutes into the second half a corner taken by John Archbold sailed straight into the net without being touched by anyone. Sligo subsequently pressed hard for an equaliser, but were well-marshalled by the experienced Dundalk defence. In the 78th minute, one such Sligo attack broke down, and Mick Fairclough latched onto a long clearance by Sean Byrne to race through and score Dundalk's second to seal the win. The victory gave Dundalk their only FAI Cup and League Cup Double.^[6]
