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.
