A difficult season, with the team starting to grow old together. Manager Donal Foley ofter struggles to put a team together
due to injuries, sabbaticals, emigration and lack of ability. The season reaches it's nadir in December, when just nine players
make the trip to Transport FC, resulting in a heroic 7-3 defeat. But gradually matters improve, with the youth policy again
starting to churn out new recruits. Also, the clubs long running attempts to clone Shane O'Brien finally succeed, with "Medical
Project Shane O'Brien 2" making an assured debut, before getting sent off in his second match. A late victory over Kinsealy
finally ends the clubs relegation worries, whereupon a tearful Donal Foley announces his retirement. Also, at Loretto Park,
the Dermot Mullins Treatment Centre is opened, along with the Alan Greenan Stand, which wobbles and weaves a little in either
direction, before falling over.
