We asked the lads to play a certain style and they executed well. UCD Marian have some great players and our defence did a good enough job to secure the win. We’ve got them again now in two weeks and we’re well aware they will be a different beast. Time to knuckle down and work towards the (InsureMyHouse.ie National) Cup game".
