Finn Harps Poll - The Votes Are In

Well, the votes are in for the Finn Harps poll, with a massive 16 people voting, all 5 options got voted on and here are the results

9 Points - GD +7 = 11 Votes (68%)
9 Points - GD +5 = 2 Votes (12%)
9 Points - GD +6 = 1 Vote (6%)
9 Points - GD +4 = 1 Vote (6%)
9 Points - GD +3 = 1 Vote (6%)

After Friday night we are still on course to get 9 points off Harps, with Derry winning 2-1. Was listening to the match on iCandy - which is one hell of a service if you can't make it to the games. So a big that's go out to Niall and Maribor Kev for the commentary on the match.

So in are first 2 league games we've scored in the last 10 minutes to win the games. I think it was in the 2005 season when we lost out to Cork on the last day that we picked up a lot of points in the last 10 minutes with the team pressing hard right up to the final whistle to get goals, so it's a good habit to have if we need it.

Next up is Cork away on Good Friday, and thankfully RTE will be showing the game live, as I can't make it to it. Cork's always a tough place to go. In the last 4 seasons we've been down there 6 times in the league and have come away with 3 points, 3 draws and 3 loses. Cork are yet to win in the league with a 0-0 draw at home to Bray on the opening day and a 1-1 draw with Rovers on Friday night past, so it makes for one hell of an interesting game.

C'mon the Candystripes!
