Manager Tim Clancy spoke to our Youtube channel ahead of tomorrow night:
"It's going to be a tough game, our results last weekend against Sligo and Bohs were not great, we're looking for a better performance on Friday against Shamrock Rovers. It looks like it will be a sell out again so we are looking forward to it. Our fans have been brilliant so far and we'll be looking to give them something to cheer about this week."
