For someone who is into numbers as much as Jack Keaney, a big Tallaght crowd is just what the heart desired to kick-off life in the Premier Division.
Keaney, a maths and biology student in Belfield, admits that the prospect of going to the home of the league champions for the season opener is a special one.
"I think when you look at the fixtures you look for when you're going to be playing in Tallaght and for the first night, in front of a big crowd, that's why you play football," said the UCD captain.
