Towell bagged six goals during Dundalk’s four victories in the month of September. Four of those came in the Louth derby trouncing of Drogheda United with a further two in the crucial 3–1 win against Limerick at the Market’s Field.
“I was lucky enough to score a couple of goals over the month so I was delighted,” said the 24-year-old.
“We have a lot to look forward to with the FAI Cup final and closing in on the league. Hopefully I can get a few more goals before the end of the season.”
Dundalk can retain their league title with a win against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght tomorrow night.
“It will be nice no matter where we win it. We want to win it as soon as possible and it just so happens that it is against Rovers up in Tallaght.”
