Blues - Waterford United FC Programme v Finn Harps Friday 25th April 2014 | Page 4

The Manager’sManager Tommy Griffin Comments with First Team Always, as a manager, and as a team, you want to go into every game keeping a clean sheet, and also scoring as many goals as possible. So to finally get a home win last Friday, and in the process keep a fifth clean sheet, was pleasing for all concerned. We must now see that as a step for us in the right direction, and it should give us encouragement and belief to improve as the season rolls into the second phase of games. We all agree we have had a stuttering start to our campaign, so we will look to last Friday’s result to give us the kick start we need. lovely to see the 19s out in force at the Rovers game on Friday. Some of these lads are now out of under 19 football, and so they will continue their pathway with our first team squad – Mark Walsh, Andy and Dean Reidy to name just a few. Tonight we have Finn Harps down for the return of the opening night fixture, and they will be a very tough nut to crack. Under Ollie Horgan they are playing with a steely determination, and have some very exciting young players in their squad, Ruairi Keating and Carel Tiofack to name just two. I do know our supporters down here have a very healthy respect for Finn Harps and their supporters, so it is a very warm welcome I wish ѡ
