Ollie Horgan told FinnHarps.ie “Shels have probably kicked on a bit since we last played them and have a couple of very impressive wins over Sligo and Derry, two teams we’ve lost to in recent weeks. We are down a whole host of bodies but we can’t dwell on that. We were much improved in the second half last Friday, so if we can play to that level again and perhaps be a bit more clinical in front of goal we’ll give ourselves a chance of a positive result come full-time. ”
