00:00 Two wins from two, that must be satisfying.
00:04 Brilliant, brilliant. Two tough games as well.
00:07 John and Kerry and they're in trouble.
00:09 Can't beat that, tough games this time of year.
00:12 Moving forward to the Championship, that's the preparation.
00:16 From where we're looking at it there, you scored three points up,
00:19 but you haven't played with a big breeze. Was there any concern?
00:22 No, no, we knew we were just probably as good as the breeze provided.
00:26 The game IQ of a lot of boys, we were able to just build it.
00:30 We knew what we had to do to come into the second half.
00:33 How important was it to get the first couple of scores in that second half
00:36 just to settle us down again?
00:38 If I'd only come out and got jittery, especially if they'd tag on,
00:41 especially if there's only a gap of three and they tag on a couple of scores,
00:44 then you're certain you might lose the head of a wee bit.
00:48 But they're coming out and getting the first two scores to settle us down right then.
00:52 I know before the league people are talking about your first thing,
00:55 but that's four from four. You couldn't ask for much more.
00:58 It starts, hopefully it just keeps going.
01:01 Nice to get the week break now because we've been on a heck of a plate.
01:04 Six games in four weeks or five weeks or something like that.
01:07 So nice to get the week break now and then we'll go back at it again tomorrow.
01:11 Personally, you look like you've been playing this kind of football for ten years.
01:14 How have you found it?
01:16 I don't know about that. Loving it, loving it.
01:19 The boys there, they helped me out. They raised us out of the way.
01:22 Just pointers here and there. Everyone wants you to get better.
01:25 Everyone wants the best for you from the game.
01:28 So just hopefully keep on improving from here.
01:30 Does it help coming into such an experienced team?
01:33 There's plenty of boys around you.
01:35 100% you look at even the likes of Pauline McGriff who's been there since he was 18.
01:39 Probably the same age as me but he's had 70 odd appearances.
01:42 And even there, he's given me a word.
01:44 Chris, obviously, 15 years. He's given me help along the way.
01:47 Klucky, same. All them lads around you, you can't not go far along.
