Managers' Comment
For the first Galway game at Richmond (0-3) we were too open, we were hit badly on the break and we caused a lot of our own problems that night but the second game in Galway (2-1) was a far more even contest.
Obviously it would be
good to beat them and redress the results but I'm not looking at it like that -
Galway United is simply our next game and we need to keep building consistent performances.
