Des Byrne moves - Pressmen give thumbs down to Saints
Wednesday, August 8th, 2001

Former Saint Patrick's Athletic player, Des Byrne has moved to Cambridge United on loan from Wimbledon. Wimbledon boss Terry Burton is reported to rate Byrne as a good prospect and believes that a spell on loan at Cambridge may be beneficial to the young star's progress to full first team football at Wimbledon.

In other news the Irish Sun's newspaper hacks have dismissed the Saints as also rans in the forthcoming title chase. Only John O'Neill of the Sun's 4 National League journos gave Pats any hope of being in the top three.

With a lot of journalists tipping the new look Shels as dead certs to win the title, a few of these hacks may do well to remember that Shels are past masters at throwing away league titles rather than winning them. IS Online predicts a long hard season with few sure fire things. With four potential relegation spots it could get nasty in the Premier, in this the last full season of winter football. Whatever happens it will be lively!
