As you can see, they are a poor team in a poor league (Carrick and crystal are the only 2 decent teams with any real hope of outside honours)
They have scored 13 and let in 16 in the league. They lost their best player (Michael Downey, ex Spurs, to his local Div 2 team this year, that same team knocked out Crystal in FAI). He was there center forward for the last few years and got them to a MJ semi final a few years back but they have very little up front since he has gone. Their top scorer in the league is Kevin Walsh (3 goals) and he plays in the middle where he likes to come and get the ball from his back 4.
They will be sticky, they have given the likes of Carrick and Crystal good games this year but also lost points against both Hibs and Johnville. They are supposed to be tough to break down but certainly have no one player as a danger. On the Waterford Oscar Traynor that won it out last year they had no player in the squad. Their keeper is small and heavy. Good luck.
