Finn Harps 2-0 Kildare County
Harps totally outclassed Kildare from start to finish and it
could have been 4 or 5 nil. Seamus Browne scored a peach towards
the end of the first half, beating three defenders then finishing into the
top corner from the edge of the area. Conor Gethins wrapped the points in the
second half in a game Harps totally dominated.

Fourth league win on the trot, plus putting Galway out of the cup,
things are starting to look very promising for us. Leaves us six points behind
Limerick in third and a game in hand.
On top of that we're playin the best, most attractive football by far
in the First Division.:cool:

Club also unveiled the signing of Declan Divin from Institute tonight
which by all accounts is a great prospect. Also with a new all purpose
stadium on its way the future is most definetly Blue and White.

Jaysus haven't been this chuffed being a harps fan in ages, used to pain,
dissapointment interrupted by sporatic outbreaks of optimism only for it to be dashed in the most cruelest of ways and well, just plain depression.
Looks like finally, Paul Hegarty has started to turn the club around
after possibly our worst start to a first division season in history.

Up the Harps!:)

Poor enough result from Dundalk last night drawing 0-0 with Limerick. Got out of jail though what with Shels doing us a favour by equalizing against Cobh. Dundalk still top....just.

Really felt we should have won it last night.

Shocking decision by the ref not to send their keeper off for the foul that gave us the peno.

Fantastic match and great atmohphere. Well worth €15. :cool:

James Chambers was outstanding. Serious talent.

City edge in against the mighty Longford 1-2. Another brace for O Donovan. I fear what will happen once he is gone - possibly as early as next week. Without his goals this season we would be down 3rd bottom I think.

On the upside, Healy and Farrelly will be ready to go for the next league game!

Aye, world beaters the pair of them.

We got a decent result last night, and did Dundalk a big favour.

I was pretty happy with it too.

100% Agreed. 3 points were there for the taking. Cobh's 2nd place in the league flatters them.

Ref called it spot on. It was clumsy challenge by the keeper alight but there was no intent, for once this season I thought the ref had a good game last night!

Aye, pity about the size of the crowd, they missed out. I seriously think there must be a ban on midweek rounds of fixtures, it's not helping the clubs, the fans and the players who have to take days off work.

James Chambers was outstanding. Serious talent.

Undoubtedly. I still think he has to develop more, he still has a habit of doing brilliantly with the difficult passes and moves but messing up the easiest of passes! In 2 or 3 years he will be playing for a top Premier club, hopefully it will be Shels!

That is the lad's attitude! When I played on the same team when I was younger he was like that, committed, determined and wasn't obsessed with showing off to be No.1 like most young players, just wanted to play ball and learn that maturity has carried through to today.

In saying that, I still think he was a nutter for not joining Aberdeen and the bigger wage when he had the chance!
