What he said...
Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan
“People were talking about Sligo’s poor start to the season until last Saturday night at the Showgrounds when they had an excellent win over Bray Wanderers, who had been going well.
"Last season Sligo finished something like 20 points above us in the table, so they are a quality side.
We will have to be at our very best to win because Sligo will be coming to Finn Park full of confidence after the relief of getting that first three points last Saturday night.”
