Sounds accurate - the wind was our biggest opponent yesterday.

Fortunate wouldn't decribe it well enough. We had a 17 year old on the pitch in his 3rd ever match and he was dropping the ball right under the crossbar from corners. Their keeper and defence was having real difficulty dealing with them.

We also coped with the strong cross wind better and tired to play ball on the ground quite a bit more than Shels did.

If we perform like we did yesterday and Waterford on Tuesday we will be top half of the table easily.

You've a much bigger squad than us though; youz can cope with it, but it's harder for us to deal with it.

Why can ye Dubland people not say ye
