Galway United manager Alan Murphy said, “The game gave us the opportunity to play against the only opposition in the league unbeaten at this stage. Waterford were very well organised and have some very talented players.”
“We struggled a little defensively as both our centre halves were out injured. We started the game well and went in 1-0 up at the break. Waterford started very well and scored from a corner and unfortuntaly we missed a penalty shortly after.”
“Waterford applied all the pressure in the second half and were deserved 3-1 winners on the day. New signing Aidan Halloran made his debut and we hope to sign another player before the window closes.”
“The players will have learned a considerable amount from the two games against Waterford this season which will definitely contribute to their development as elite level players this season.”
Bray Wanderers pulled off a big win at the weekend as they comfortably beat Cobh Ramblers 4-0. Cian Maher, Daniel Madaghjian, Jake Ellis & Darragh Kelly with the goals for Bray.
Cobh’s Davin O’Neill told us, “They were up there with best we played this year like Waterford.”
“Their goal in the first minute was a dropped ball by our keeper for tap in. The second we lost possesion on edge of our box and a good strike. The third and fourth goals were good moves and strikes also.”
“We weren’t up to much to be honest, which is disappointing after the run we were on after Waterford defeat of 4 wins and a draw.”
“We have two weeks to our next game against Cork where 3 points is a must to keep us in hunt for the top 4.”
