Audio: Ciaran Gallagher hails a hard-earned point for Finn Harps in Wexford

FINN HARPS GOALKEEPER Ciaran Gallagher was delighted to emerge unscathed from last night’s relegation battle with Wexford Youths.

The script at Ferrycarrig Park went along lines that were quite familiar to the traveling Finn Harps fans as Gallagher earned them a point.

Gallagher made a string of superb second-half saves in the 0-0 draw as Harps moved ever-closer to survival – something that could be secured on Monday night should Wexford fail to beat Cork City.

“It was a good point,” Gallagher told Donegal Sport Hub.

“This is a tough place to come.. At the end of the day we’re happy with the point.

“The longer the game stayed nil-nil the more chances they were going to have. The boys really stood up in the last 20 minutes. It’s nice to get the point and a clean sheet.

“They got a great result against Galway which set it up. It put a bit of pressure on us to come down here, but the boys stood up and dug it out.”

The Raphoe man, who grew up a Harps supporter, has seen enough of the First Division in his time.

He said: “We had a lot of tough years in the First Division. We’ve worked hard to stay in the Premier now.

“It shows how far we’ve come as a group of players that we’re going into the last week of the season above the drop zone. This is a massive week for the club.”
