Waterford United v Dundalk at the RSC 
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 (KO 7.45pm)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Waterford United will welcome the distraction of Cup competition when they play host to Dundalk in the EA Sports Cup quarter final at the RSC on Tuesday night (KO 7.45pm).
 
The Blues suffered their fourth league reverse of the season at the Brandywell on Saturday evening, going down 2-0 to the in-form Derry City, and in a manner that alarmed manager Stephen Henderson, who was at a loss to explain his side’s poor showing. More ominously it was their third defeat in six league games during the month of May, a month in which they’ve only won one. That has seen them slip to seven points adrift from the table-topping Candystripes, but, perhaps fortuitously, they have remained three clear of both Monaghan United and Limerick, and still in the hunt, if they can get their league form going in timely fashion.
 
United’s overall form looks a little better when the Cup matches are included, wins over Tralee Dynamos in this competition, and Limerick in the Munster Senior Cup, improving the tally for May. And a couple of Cup matches (they travel to Longford Town in the FAI Ford Cup on Friday) might be just what the doctor ordered as the manager tries to sort out just how to get some consistent form back. High-flying Dundalk are about the toughest opponents the could face right now, though, and they seem to like the RSC as a venue, winning two of their last three games there, including the controversial play-off match in 2006. On the other hand, as the Blues proved on several occasions last season, they have no fear of anyone in a Cup context.
 
Henderson’s injury worries continue, and he will have to plan without left full back John Kearney, who didn’t last long at the Brandywell after pulling a muscle in the warm-up. His other first choice full back Alan Carey remains out for another two weeks or so. Midfielder Paul McCarthy is rated about 50-50 with a groin injury. Though he didn’t travel to Derry, midfielder James O’Sullivan has returned to contention.
 

Henderson Quotes: 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Derry game:
“We were murdered tonight. They were stronger than us, passed the ball better than us, I’m hugely disappointed.”
“While we’ve had to play with a lot of injured players, we had strong players out there, and that’s frightening.”
“There was about 80 people after coming all the way from Waterford to watch that, and I apologise to them.”
“The break from the league is a good thing for us. We’ll take the time to try to fix it.”

Derry City  2 – 0  Waterford United

Waterford United slipped to seven points behind the league leaders Derry City after going down to the stronger side at the Brandywell on Saturday.

What was very probably the worst Blues performance of the season was punished ruthlessly - “murdered” was how Stephen Henderson termed it after the game – by the high-flying Candystripes who have now won nine in the last 11 (unbeaten) games. United, by contrast, have taken only eight points from the last eight matches, having won all of their first six. As luck would have it though, they might have taken an early lead on 12 minutes, when Liam Kearney broke clear down the left, and whipped the cross towards Vinny Sullivan at the back post. Emmet Friars’ outstretched leg almost put through his own net, but instead it flew over the top.

The Blues were hit with a double blow shortly afterwards though, as Mark Farren powered a header past Chris Konopka from Patrick McEleney’s cross on 18 minutes, and Mark McChrystal doubled the lead with a neat overhead kick a minute later. A pre-game injury to John Kearney eventually saw his substitution midway through the half, and United took the opportunity to go three at the back, bringing on David Grincell. Just before the break, they put together their best move of the night, Gareth Cambridge picking out Sullivan, who laid off nicely for George O’Callaghan to shoot low, drawing a fine save from Ger Doherty.

Perhaps spurred on by that near miss, Derry stepped it up a couple of gears in the second half, and at times only Chris Konopka stood between them and a third goal. On 52 minutes the Blues netminder produced a stunning double save to deny David McDaid, and again at the death another top drawer save from Konopka denied the Derry winger. In between, the home side had the ball in the Waterford net on no less than three occasions, but each time ruled out for offside, and each time correctly, despite the howls of protest from the home fans. The Blues’ sole chance of note came on the hour when Sullivan, set up by O’Callaghan, dragged his shot wide when well placed.

Derry City: Gerard Doherty, Mark McChrystal, Eddie McCallion, Emmet Friars, Mark Scoltock, James McClean (Darren Cassidy 83), Kevin Deery, Patrick McEleney (Vinny Sweeney 68), Barry Molloy, Mark Farren (Thomas McBride 90), David McDaid – subs: Eugene Ferry, Adam Clarke

Team Bulletin
Derry City v Waterford United at the Brandywell 
Saturday, May 29th, 2010 (KO 6.00pm)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waterford United make their longest trip of the season on Saturday, when they head to the Brandywell for an intriguing top-of-the-table clash with Derry City (KO 7.45pm).
 
After last Friday’s draw against Cork Foras, a game where they battled hard but never really got into second gear in terms of creating chances, United will be hoping the week’s break wil revitalise them. Having had a match on each of the first three Tuesdays this month, this past week will have felt like an early installment of the Summer break for Stephen Henderson’s jaded squad.
 
The Blues have of course beaten Derry already this season, Liam Kearney netting the only goal at the RSC back in March, but this time around it will be a taller order, and not just because the game is on Foyleside. Derry are unbeaten in 10 league games since that game at the RSC, winning 8 in a row, though they have gone a touch flat themselves in recent weeks, with two draws in their last two games, including a 0-0 against Limerick last weekend. Three points for United would throw the title race wide open once again, but on the other hand defeat would put the Candystripes into a commanding, if not yet unassailable lead.
 
Full back Alan Carey will be out for 2-3 weeks after damaging ankle ligaments against Cork Foras. but on the plus side the Blues will hope to finally welcome back inspirational captain Kevin Murray from a long injury lay-off. Both he and John Hayes will face late fitness tests, with Hayes given a slightly better chance of making the squad. Midfielder James O’Sullivan too should be fit to make a return to contention after a hamstring tweak, but Paul McCarthy is rated on the doubtful side of 50-50 after limping off inside 13 minutes last Friday night. Despite shipping a nasty knock in the same game, Paul Carey has quickly recovered and stands ready to deputise for his namesake at right back.

Henderson Quotes: 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Cork game:
“Instead of looking forward to the game against Derry we’ve got a massive problem as so many of our players are the walking wounded to be honest.”
“We got loads of effort from the players tonight, which certainly pleased me, but one thing for sure is that the players are extremely tired because we have been playing non-stop for the last month.”
“It hasn’t been easy over the last number of weeks. We’ve got plenty of effort but little quality and that is because they are so tired. At least we have an entire week to regroup now.”
“I’m delighted with the manner in which they battled tonight. The only thing that really disappointed me was conceding a goal minutes after we had gone ahead, and to be honest, it’s a cardinal sin to do that, in my book.”
“Changing the team around and trying to get players playing properly out of their normal positions is not easy for anyone, but we have a small squad and there’s not a lot we can do in those circumstances.”
“I suppose our result and their [Derry's] draw means this was something of a nothing game for us, but we cannot keep talking about Derry. We have to focus on ourselves.”
“Despite all of our problems we are still in the EA Sports Cup, we are still second in the league, in the final of the Munster Cup, and looking forward to the FAI Cup. That is good for us, and we will be fine for next week.”

The Munster Senior Cup final date and venue have been fixed, and it’s the RSC that will host the Cup decider between Waterford United and Midleton FC.

The game will take place at the start of the mid-season break, on Thursday June 10th, with a 7.30pm kick-off.

The competition comes under the aegis of the MFA rather than the FAI, but in order to minimise the impact of the match on the squad’s mid-season break, it is being played just two days after the home league match against Salthill Devon.

Ticketting information etc will follow as more details are finalised.

Waterford United’s crucial top of the table clash with Derry City at the Brandywell will now have an earlier kick off after Derry’s request to the FAI for a change of time was successful.

The Blues make the long journey North to face the Candystripes on Saturday evening but the game will now kick off at 6pm rather than 7.45pm.

The game will be broadcast live on WLRfm and can be heard online at www.wlrfm.com

Waterford United  1 - 1  Cork City FORAS Co-op

Waterford United played out an entertaining draw with Cork City Foras Co-op at the RSC last night, in front of their biggest crowd of the season so far. A lively match, in particular the first half, saw both teams with chances to win the game, but neither really doing enough to deserve to take all three points, although Cork did have the ball in the net for a second time.

The Blues almost got off to a flying start, as three minutes in George O’Callaghan tried his luck from wide on the left with a cheeky free kick that hit the  near side netting with everyone, bar ‘keeper Mark McNulty, expecting a cross. Within another three minutes Cork produced one of their best moves of the match, Eoin Forde slipping Shane Duggan away into the left of the area, who crossed low for Cathal Lordan to volley goalwards from 10 yards, forcing Chris Konopka into a superb save to turn it around the butt of his right hand post. The home side shipped a body blow on 13 minutes, as Paul McCarthy was forced off through injury, necessitating a series of positional adjustments, but it didn’t materially affect the flow of the first half, at least.

Instead it was mistakes that were to prove significant in scoring terms, and United almost blundered in a big way on 18 minutes as Konopka raced out of his area onto a long punt forward. In trying to pick a pass, he merely stroked it straight to Davin O’Neill, whose attempted lob from 40 yards cleared the retreating ‘keeper, but also the crossbar, by some way. Waterford put together a fine flowing move of their own shortly afterwards, as a neat 1-2 down the right between O’Callaghan and sub Paul Carey saw the Corkman whip a vicious cross to the near post, met with a diving Vinny Sullivan header that fizzed into the near side netting. From the resulting goalkick Gary Dunphy won the ball and fed O’Callaghan, but he screwed the shot wide of the same right post. The home side hadn’t long to wait for the opener though, and again O’Callaghan was the instigator, a free kick from wide on the right sent deep, deep beyond the back post, rescued by a prodigious leap from Seamus Long, whose powerful header back into the danger zone caught Uros Hojan napping, the ball bouncing off the hapless defender’s head and nestling inside the post.

To Cork’s credit the reply was immediate, but to the Blues’ chagrin it was a very poor one to concede. United can hardly be unfamiliar with Cork’s most potent aerial threat, but when Cathal Lordan floated in a free kick from half way on the right, Graham Cummins was left unmarked and free to get to the flight of the ball first, looping a header from the penalty spot beyond the reach of Konopka and inside the right post. Long almost did likewise at the other end when he leapt highest to meet Alan Carey’s corner kick on 40 minutes, but McNulty showed good positioning and good hands. As the increasingly fractious half wound to a close, Cummins had half a sight of goal as he raced onto a long ball down the right channel, but shot harmlessly wide on the run.

The second half was always going to struggle to match the intensity of the end of the first, and so it proved. That said, the half was not without real chances for both teams to snatch maximum points, and on 57 minutes a neat Vinny Sullivan turn as he received from Kevin Waters at the edge of the box gave the striker a sight of goal, but he dragged it wide of the left post. The visitors then had the ball in the net just after the hour mark. Davin O’Neill’s fine drilled cross was deftly back-flicked towards the top corner by Cathal Lordan, and though Chris Konopka produced an astonishing move to claw the ball out of the air, it looked to have been in vain as Shane Duggan bundled home from close range. Luckily for the home side, the assistant referee was well placed to see that he was offside when Lordan got his touch. That was never going to count, but United did have a real let-off five minutes later. Graham Cummins got clear down the left and pulled a low centre back across the area, the ball running between three hesitant defenders before reaching O’Neill, ten yards out, who badly scuffed his effort well wide of the far post.

An unseemly kerfuffle in the home penalty box, an O’Callaghan long range free kick attempt well held by Mark McNulty, and one from David Grincell that he didn’t quite get hold of were the only points of interest as play drew to a close, but the visitors had a last hurrah right at the death, first as Paul Deasy’s free kick cross from the left touchline eluded everyone to bounce off the top of the crossbar, and then in the follow up when Konopka got quickly out and bravely down to block as Duggan attempted to shoot from the middle of the area. And so it ended all square, neither side delighted with the result, but neither side losing much ground either as other scorelines mean it stays more or less ’as you were’ at the top of the table.
