Ballyfermot Bears v Athboy Longhorns preview


Manager Conor Kelly believes that this will be the week that Ballyfermot Bears reverse a two-game losing streak and draw on the spirit that saw them pick up their first point earlier this month.

But Kelly is acutely aware of the challenge that faces his team as they welcome Athboy to Markievicz Park this Saturday.

“This weekend is a massive game for us as we need to improve on our performances against Clondalkin and Portarlington” Kelly said.

“Athboy will be flying high after beating the Dublin City Exiles two weeks ago so we will be looking to bring them back down to earth. We have been working hard in training and it's time to bring that into a game situation.”

“Our form at the start of the season needs to return if we want to finish off strongly. In particular our defence needs to front up against Athboy on Saturday.”

The Bears have a full complement of players to pick from, pending any late withdrawals, so hopes are high that this can be another memorable day for Ballyer.
