00:00 Well Stephen, a winning start to the campaign and chat us through the win here today.
00:04 Yeah, it was a good start, you can't ask for anything better than that. Trained in on the
00:09 clean sheet, first game of the season, came up here, got done what we needed to have done.
00:13 We know we could be playing better, there's a lot more levels to go. Training's been a
00:18 tough pre-season now but the lads are fitting, I think it showed there today.
00:22 And chat us through the free kick, a lovely left footed strike into the top corner.
00:25 Yeah, it's set up nicely. It's usually on the other side I like them, but it's just
00:30 set up nicely from a little bit of distance so you have that room to actually give it
00:33 the whip and just one of those when it leaves your foot you just know where it's going.
00:38 Obviously a lot was made about the summer and the club obviously being in the mood and
00:41 there was no issues for you staying?
00:44 No, I'm happy to stay here. I've had three seasons here now and this is my fourth and
00:48 I've enjoyed every minute of it. It's been a long journey for me now coming up trail
00:53 but it's good. I'm getting regular game time and you can't turn that down to move on to
00:57 somewhere else to fight more. But I'm happy here now, enjoying it.
01:01 And a club captain as well?
01:03 A vice-captain. The captain's injured today but we'll take it. Nice to lead the lads out
01:07 for their first game of the season so I enjoyed it.
01:10 A lot of people will be saying that Warren Point will be favourites to go up but you
01:13 know you'll have to hit it or not on the pitch?
01:15 Yeah, it'll be a tough season. It's not the same squad, people still think you're a premiership
01:20 side and you're coming down but the squad is very good. It's a very talented squad,
01:24 young, fresh. I think it'll be a tough thing but that's the aim of the season, to win the
01:30 league, to get promoted back up and just keep working ourselves back up then.
01:34 Cheers Stephen, thank you.
01:35 No worries, thanks very much.
