Our first match after the break was at home to Cobh Ramblers on the 20th. They were fourth in the table, but they led the league in goals and came into the match on a run of good form.
We spent a lot of time buzzing around Ramblers' goal. Gerry Foley made three outstanding stops, denying
David Reilly,
Martin McCabe, and
Roy Murphy in turn. On the other end of the pitch, Murphy and
Mark Molloy led a stout defense that kept Ramblers from testing
Darcy Bradford once.
Finally, in the 84th minute,
Damion Watson rattled Foley's crossbar from 25 yards. In the ensuing scramble for the ball, Ramblers left back Noel Holohan--a very good player--knocked the ball in his own goal. It was messy, but we'll take it.
Meanwhile, Longford striker Mark Tiernan fired in his league-best eighth goal of the season to see off Wexford Youths, 2-1. We were now within a point of the lead!
Today, Waterford United came to Eamonn Deacy Park and took an early lead through Jamie Long. Seven minutes later,
Martin McCabe drew us level. We added two more goals in the second half--one more from McCabe and one from Watson--and left with all three points.
Wexford Youths were at home at Ferrycarrig Park, hosting Shelbourne...
Go you Shels!
I like seeing that little green dot beside Galway Utd.
