Connor, another hugely impressive league win there.
00:02
Yeah, yeah, it's just, look I suppose to go 3 out of 3 in this competitive division 1
00:07
it's a good set out so just happy to get the result and now move on to Galway next week.
00:11
I mean it was a game there, it was in the balance early on but Connor's goal probably
00:16
put us in the box, he's never let go of it after that.
00:18
Yeah I suppose we got a good foothold on it early on, it's something we do strive for
00:22
and look, Crichy's goal was a good settler in the nerves, it gave us a bit of breathing
00:25
room and probably from then we kicked on, as you said we were able to make maybe the
00:29
odd mistake and still have that cushion of the goal then.
00:31
I mean even the strength coming off the bench, second half, it's nice to have that cushion
00:34
to be able to bring boys on isn't it Steve?
00:35
Yeah it's something we've definitely developed this year and obviously it's nice whenever
00:39
you see someone coming off the bench it gives you another lease of life, you know they're
00:42
going to bring energy.
00:43
Was that a target early on, because people were talking about the teams you were putting
00:46
out against Kerry and stuff but I mean, 3 games, 3 wins, that puts us in a strong position.
00:51
Yeah I suppose, look some teams just do have their full strength in it, I do see why you
00:56
wouldn't play your full strength when you have it.
00:58
Something we've developed over the last 2-3 years and thankfully it's came to crown this
01:02
year, we've got a good panel now and it's strength to strength we're striving to go
01:06
from.
01:07
You can see the strength and depth coming off, you've got Big Emmett, people like this
01:10
coming off the bench, have you noticed that around the squad, that sort of added competition?
01:14
Yeah look definitely, them boys have been after a tough iron series and look when you
01:18
see someone who's an all-Ireland champion coming off the bench, like him and himself
01:20
and Union and even Detty Cass there as well, them lads bring a serious energy and Big Donega,
01:26
so look it is something that now we see as a very big positive within our team.
01:30
You're having your own goal of the night competition there, who are you going to give it to?
01:34
3 great goals!
01:35
Yeah look I suppose I just couldn't let body have that glory, I couldn't get one up on
01:40
me but no it's good to get the score sheet I suppose, it's just something we've been
01:42
developing on and trying to get in them areas and take it when it comes.
01:45
I mean 3 wins would tend, people would tend to use it in a good position in terms of safety
01:49
but I mean is the desire there now to push on, go for 4, 5, 6 and try and get towards
01:53
a league final?
01:54
Definitely I'd say hey anybody that says they're not going out to win every game in
01:58
this league is in my opinion telling a fella that easily, you don't go out to lose a game
02:02
on purpose and whenever a team may come up against opposition we're going out that day
02:06
to win and look we'll see where it takes us.
