Cabinteely bolster their 2020 ranks with seven re-signings

First Division Cabinteely have bolstered their ranks for 2020 with the re-signing of seven of their 2019 stars for next season.

Alex Aspil, Luke Clucas, Shane Barnes, Daniel Blackbyrne, Keith Dalton, Dean Casey and Christian Lotefa have all committed to the Cabo cause for 2020.

Aspil re-signs having enjoyed a breakthrough 2019 with the Green and White’s – making 24 appearances in total for Pat Devlin’s charges.

“I’m really looking forward to the season starting back,” the young midfielder said.  

“We’ve been back over the last few weeks, and the group has seemed to bond really well and the football we’re playing is decent, so all is going well.

“It shows that it’s a good path and if you put your head down and get to it you can progress to the first-team.

“Hopefully we can just pick up from last season. I got a good few minutes in last season and hopefully I can drive on next season and have a good season with the team as well.”

Forwards Clucas and Barnes also return for another year at Stradbrook – with both players impressing on the occasions they were called upon last term.

Tenth highest appearance holder Dalton – who has also a Premier Division league winning medal to his name with Dundalk – returns along with full-back Daniel Blackbyrne

Former Athlone Town duo Dean Casey and Christian Lotefa also make the return to the South Dublin venue after re-joining the club halfway through last campaign.
