First "Away Day" in the Books

Updated: Feb 4

Dirigo Union announces the annexation of Dover

The Dirigo Union held its first ever "away day" (so to speak) as more than 30 members boarding the Downeaster last Saturday to catch some Premier League games at the legendary June Cork Pub in Dover, NH. Less than an hour after boarding their train, DU members were enjoying pints of Guinness, scotch eggs, and excellent company. Below are some great photos from our trip down south!

Located in downtown Dover - the June Cork Pub is an British Isle-styled pub that offers everything a soccer fan is looking for including excellent beer and food. The fact it is right next to the Dover train station makes it an excellent options for DU members in Southern York County and Seacoast New Hampshire to enjoy a pint and catch a game.

The June Cork leans hard into its soccer fandom and the kits, flags, and scarves of many clubs from around the world adorn the walls. Many of these items were donated by patrons of the Pub who wanted their local watering hole to show off their particular side. (Don't worry we checked and they have both Hearts of Pine and DU scarves already up above the bar!)

A full crew of Dirigo Union members made the trip including a good number of new members. As of this article the DU is nearing 320 members for the 2025 season which is incredible for USL supporters group in its first year.

The June Cork boasts multiple TVs which allowed DU members to watch multiple games as they progressed throughout the day. Of particular interest was Everton vs Brighton and Liverpool vs Ipswich Town. Unfortunately for the Author, Celtic had a by-week.

While Portland has many great bars to watch soccer, the June Cork is a destination worth visiting because of its authentic atmosphere.
We were all very happy to help DU Co-Chair Mitchell celebrate his birthday during our away day!
