Waterford are the early leaders in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division after an emphatic 4-1 win away to Drogheda United at Weavers Park.

Yes a very good evening you’re welcome along to Weaver Park for the second uh game of the season for Dra United and of course Waterford in the first home game of the new season for the hosts this evening entrance of his direct opponent Here Comes Dar Mary now scampers away

From asamoa runs into Parsons and gets away from both players he’s still going Dar Mary tries to clip one in it’s well blocked by o’keef the rebound comes back to Mary and it’s Pierro who was in there trying to get a toe on it Mor for get it

Away but dra have back on the halfway line with jaini Dean again in the Center Circle looking for a little bit of help slips on through to Pierro who backs into Dari again that’s very much his sty is break him back to Bar shot com in

It oh it’s bril from d and John it hasn’t been like they’ve been dominating The Possession for the last 10 minutes or anything but this little spell they’ve had in the last two or three minutes it looks like they’ve been building and building and B save from s

With a few moments go but this time he makes no mistake yeah fantastic goal a brilliant ball in from Degan in into I think it was uh Marky uh Mary SS little B the B and an absolutely fantastic finish veryy similar to the last one for

Sergeant got a hand on the last one no more than draw deserve they’ve been pening pin and Waterford back they started the game really really brightly on the front foot some of their pass and what a ball in s into pero it was pero do really really well and a great little

Slip ball slipped in from Dar Mary a fantastic goal David S B with his first goal for D United he drew a save to Sam Sergeant just a few moments ago to force a corner and Waterford never really cleared their lines properly from that and dra he to find themselves in front

With 13 and A2 minutes gone here at Weaver Park the ideal start for them is B who as we said looked so threatening last week against Derry forced a good save from Brian Meer had another one well blocked down by the defender Ron and boce it was on

That occasion but uh they found themselves in front here J United and it’s going to be a free kick for Waterford floated to the back stck and up goes Evan Weir and gets it away it’s broken back and there’s a chance and it’s in the net it’s one1

Well would you believe that straight away I was looking at maybe offside there but obviously the L was in a better position than us but um very it was a poor clearance um didn’t react the the the k k I can’t pronounce his name d

Kowaski is it or RI R Kowski had a very good volley um looked like it was go it was it was going wide and it just happened the person had to be in the right place at the right time that’s so keeper today incidentally is uh Matthew Connor who talking about games between

These sites at 70 win against the Waterford 19s during the co campaign Matt Connor on the bench that night as he is tonight he’s the only Survivor from that Waterford under 19s team the play draw in the Premier Division a few years back like to forget for well everybody given the co surroundings

Around that game here’s the cross in from poers a chance here it’s 2-1 that’s a great goal Connor came was cut cut out very very badly there power cut him cut him cut him uh not like Connor cut him in so Conor usually doesn’t is usually very good defensive like that very poor

Goal to give away great ball back from Power great ball in um very very wellwork goal from Waterford brilliant go from Waterford down the right hand side it was cut back to NLO Keef and his left footed side footed effort pass Andy wogan and D it having LED not that long

Ago find themselves two1 down and we’ve H just crossed the halfway point of this first half and the goals are certainly flowing here and the Waterford fans over their Far Side John delighted and why wouldn’t they be because their side have roared back into this game absolutely that was an

Excellent goal now again o’keef started making that run just from the near the edge of the center circle and you’d have to question and I don’t question Gary de a lot or oen Galler but one of them has to go player from the bench now is a bib

Coming off yeah it’s Ryan Brenan I think it’s know it’ll it it’ll be interesting to see where he goes Dave it’s it’s a big call from Kevin as you say does he maybe take off Galler and go for it maybe leave him s a bit open or or does

He maybe be a little bit more conservative and take off I don’t know do you take off pero and B I wouldn’t I think you need your your front players on the pitch you’re chasing the game the change as we said last week was Pier at halftime for Brennon but that was in

Different circumstances the draw to number nine was on a yellow card I think there was a fear that he may pick up a second one and being 10 down to 10 in against s City wouldn’t be ideal the ball comes in but it’s gone in it’s gone

All the way in Dar Le again Dave you won’t believe it andford Dar Le well incredible two goals against dra a few years ago for dund he’s thr it again here was across from the dra left and it went beyond everybody certainly don’t think he was

Shooting but it just seemed to go beyond everybody and the next thing you know it was in off the post at the back stick cross in and there it goes in fact fairness to Lee he got a touch at the near post I thought it went directly in from him on

That side but got a little touch on it and Waterford lead by three goals to one here and that substitute that Kevin Dy was going to make well you might have to reconsider things now John because we said if the third goal went in for Waterford dra would have a mountain to

Climb they weren’t looking particularly likely to score anyway but now with two goals to get back it’s a real battle for them and a really uphill struggle I think so we said it was going to be pivotal Dave and I think again they’ll be they’ll be disappointed because the

Corner was W the little short one that they work they weren’t clued into it you’ve got to be you’ve got to be F you’ve got to be concentrating on that they’d already got you know they’ve seen them do it once or twice already and oh we and now here’s Armond we said he

Hadn’t been in the game much but here’s an opportunity for him and he has put it just past the far post well you would have put your house on pory G scking that one away Andy wogan to be fair to him did well to cover the angle he just

Couldn’t get enough of a draw on it it was just the ball forward and Amon for once got away a mix up between Keeny and Hayden KH and he just tried to Cur it towards that far post and Andy wogan has his head just it enough to narrow the

Angle they have a run being made along the end line that’s a free kick and it’s another opportunity for Waterford just to eat up a few seconds and to put another dangerous ball into the box and the yellow card is shown there to uh was it uh Gary Degan possibly yeah I

Think yeah I think you could be right um might have been Jack Keeny but Wonder thing about this as well Alan Allan Reynolds would be very very um astute on set plays you can bet they’ve worked on something from this area here from this set play Alan Reynolds is one of the a

Very very clever mind and very clever from set plays hugely important to get Al r in the setup as well of course very experienced manager and as John said there set piece expertise second to none so here’s an opportunity for Waterford to add to their tally they lead by three

Goals to one we’re into the last 20 minutes here at Weaver Park but they’re not sitting back they have plenty of bodies into the box here Waterford it’s towards the back post and is it in it is in it’s Bley ter free again at the back post Dave it’s Kevin will be absolutely

F it’s a sham not don’t mean to say but it’s absolute shambles I don’t know whether somebody got a block on Le terrible free header like four yards out nobody within a yard of him heads up back across go was looks like it was going in but almond almond made sure of

It well if it was uh if it was going in Dar Le he’ be pretty unhappy that he was stripped of his hat-trick I think it was uh was curled in by Bagley he was headed down and it was Ammon indeed I thought it was bagly initially but it was Amon

Who toe poked at home from Point Blank Range certainly looked very good tonight and you know their fans watching on tonight will be absolutely thrilled D’s fans not so much it’s been a flat performance and maybe one as the season goes on we look back on as being a bit

Of a oneoff but it is a worrying one for Kevin Dy and he’ll have plenty of thinking to do after it and there goes the full-time whistle the water for fans over in that Far Side Rejoice at what’s been a hugely impressive performance on the road for them and booze ringing

Around the ground here John which I haven’t heard in a long long time here at United park at Weaver’s Park but the TR SP is not happy with what they’ve seen and uh well I’m not quite sure Warren booing or anything like that it wasn’t for lack of effort it just they

Come up against a better side tonight and they were on on off day themselves so combination of the two things is conspired against them but Waterford as we said already full value for their win and uh they’ll be absolutely delighted going back down the road tonight
