Manager View: Speaking ahead of Monday’s match against Cork City, manager Ian Morris said:

“It was a frustrating night [against Galway]; with other teams dropping points in the league but we couldn’t take advantage.

“We’re working hard on a number of things and creating chances but it’s just not going in for us when you see the two that hit the crossbar too.

“The focus is now to Monday, there’s no feeling sorry for ourselves, we play the leaders on Monday and have to be ready to give that a good go. Junior will be a big loss now too but others are ready to step up.”

Team News: Anthony Wordsworth and Junior Quitirna miss out through injury.
