Keep Faith!

Okay, so we've had a couple of bad results lately and we can't seem to get our Irish cup match played, but we must keep the faith. Our next three games will go a long way to defining our season and we begin tomorrow at the 'Marshes' against Newry City. This is going to be a 'toughie', make no bones about it, they, like us, are trying to define their season by finishing in the top half of the league, reaching the C.I.S. cup final will be a bonus, but don't expect them to be any less focused tomorrow because of it. To the best of our knowledge (we haven't a clue), there are no injury doubts for tomorrow's game and new signing Paul Muir could well be given a baptism or at least a place on the subs bench. Kevin Kelbie, who would have missed Wednesday's rearranged cup match, will be available for United's three matches in a seven day period, two of which ironically involve their longest journeys of the entire season, starting with the trip to Newry tomorrow. Hopefully the Sky Blue faithful will turn out in numbers and cheer the team to victory over former player Gerry Flynn's boys, while on the field we can't afford any passengers, everybody needs to be on top of their game. The players should be refreshed having only played 45 minutes in their last game and 'hopefully' will be full of running in tomorrow's game. So, come on Sky Blues, let's go and do it, let's shag those men from the Marshes!
