Dundalk are the fourth club in League history to complete a hat-trick of titles after Shamrock Rovers, Waterford United and Cork United.

The result had looked in doubt after Mark Quigley’s first-half penalty – won in controversial circumstances by Keith Buckley – cancelled out Andy Boyle’s lead goal.
