Joe Adams came in and done really well,” “John Mountney wasn't here tonight, Pat Hoban is out, Brian Gartland has been out and Mayowa (Animasahun) fractured his hand so he was out. We were down a few bodies but we have good quality and we adapted well and the lads who played did very well. A few should be back for next week”

Stephen O Donnell said : “I picked Lewis up at the airport back in January and he had never been in Ireland before, and never really been outside of Stoke before,” “He is a quiet boy and it took him a little bit of time to adjust but his attitude is brilliant and he is playing with real confidence now. As a person, he is the salt of the earth. You couldn’t ask for an easier player. He never complains or looks for anything, he has been brilliant around the place. It has been good for him to play so many first-team games and hopefully he’ll play a lot more between now and the end of the season”

They work hard and are well setup with good players"

Granted not in the last couple of years, but this has been the dominant club and we are striving to get back there. We are taking on the current dominant team and we have a bit of that about ourselves”

Stephen O Donnell said : "It's a tough position for such a young player. Playing goalkeeper is cut throat – you make a mistake more often than not it ends up as a goal. Above any position on the pitch for a young player, goalkeeper is the hardest. He's learning on the job in the sense that it's his first bout of first-team games. “He is coming from basically playing non-competitive games into that type of atmosphere. He's a good player so it's great for him,"
