3 Dundalk players make FAI selection

The Professional Footballers Association of Ireland (PFAI) has announced its Premier and First Division Teams of the Year for 2006, with Shelbourne, Derry City and Cork City filling all 11 positions on the Premier side and First Division champs Shamrock Rovers gaining only two places on the First Division XI.

Dundalk, who finished second, have three players on the XI, while third-placed Galway, somewhat conversely, have four players on the PFAI selection. They are John Flanagan, Sean Finn and Philip Hughes.
