Corks Sports Sunday 06/09 Ballincollig Manager Eamonn Keating post match v Aghabullogue

0:00Absolutely, we knew it would be because all these games are our local derives between the game where we had the first round against Bishop Sol. The Sobs have been the middle game if you like against the Erdogg and here today they've also played, there was a lot underlined, there was a lot to play for it, top to group. Wanted to keep on winning obviously, we knew we were going to get it a test and we did. We've been able to relax, hopefully we'll get back from injury, but you know it's just going with the Erie's boss, with Juke's hopes and everything, everybody's kind of in that situation now so we are absolutely delighted with the resilience and the character that the leds show today because there were questions, things were thrown at them and they are a good side-out, we're going to have a say in the championship yet, they're going to play off like ourselves and we're tapping the group, it's very satisfying, Jury to be honest, but we know what we've got to do and we've a few weeks now to get our heads around this and plan for the future. And today a yet notite game where there was very little between the Archoo and the match,

1:02they're stretching to lead of six points just before the break, he brought it back to four, but that six points lead would cause a bit of a concern in tight match. Yeah, a little bit, I suppose, when we were looking at it, there was no panic in the dressing room, even though this is a young belling team, we've had a fair bit of experience and plus the fact that we felt ourselves that we made mistakes, we gifted them a goal and maybe three points with those mistakes, silly mistakes that we normally wouldn't make. What to be fair at the leds kept their composure and we just asked for a massive effort into the second half, a massive effort from everybody. We got that and the leds that came off to Binch as well, which is important and we're just very pleased now to be to finish the group stage, the wronged of trees, we call it before we go into the business end with tree wins from tree and we'll see what that takes us now. And I was not used to well watching that you referred to. Some of those players are very young, yet they stood up to the end performed. Yeah, we've greatly, I think, trust in the group.

2:03They've been there, no, the last number of years, we've been not going to do or and every year you hope you could do over the line, but as I said to the colleague of yours there a couple of weeks ago, when the draws made every team, all five teams look at it and they are, I'd fancy themselves to train going and that's what championship is about. You don't go just to play, you go to train win and small things, the break of a ball, here or a break of a ball, there are little things like, maybe a decision here or there and can go your way or against you as well, but we pride ourselves on hard work and they're an underscrup, they're a great group and they enjoy coming to training and enjoying playing harrowing and I think we had early in the year there, then there's two of them, 15's training, the car trailer for the first time in P1 and then going on and winning at Oshreys in the other and series which was great, give a great kind of boost to the club or we know from today's game and we analyse it, we look at it cordially and we know we can improve and we know we'll have to improve going forward because we're not going to the business end of the championship as in what we're very pleased, obviously.

3:07And your reference team, Drew's there early, Ronan, and I was a Tio Morgan, came off there and there seemed to be, injuries seemed to be finally up yet I suppose, probably going straight through to semi-final you have that little bit extra time to get these fellas back into your shape. Well, any fellas who have little niggles or an ox or anything, it does go on to be a few obviously, you know after today, good competitive fair game between two mid-car teams who've known each other reasonably well and look, we'd be hoping to get fellas back out the field training and back in contention for places and the team.
