Sponsorship cards will be available at the Athlone match, from the club office, John Ryan’s shop and any committee member, and the club are looking for volunteers to get themselves sponsored for whatever distance they can manage, from one lap of the track to the full two hours.

[b]Longford Town 0 – 2 Waterford United[/b] Waterford United broke their Flancare Park hoodoo with somewhat suprising ease tonight, and in the process moved to within a point of the top of the table. The ground has not been a fertile one for the Blues of late – the last time all three points were secured there was back in 2005 – but in what manager Gareth Cronin reckoned his most comfortable game to date as Waterford manager, they were full value for their win.

Waterford United’s game away to Sporting Fingal at the Morton Stadium which was originally fixed for Friday May 23rd has now been switched to Monday May 26th. The kick off remains at 7.45pm.

Having taken maximum points from their last two matches, Waterford United will travel to Flancare Park full of confidence ahead of their league encounter with Longford Town this Saturday, May 17th (KO 7:30pm).
