McGeough trusts away form will see Waterford through

WATERFORD UNITED manager Jimmy McGeough last night welcomed the quarter-final draw of the FAI Carlsberg Cup that pitched his team against Longford Town with the comment: “If we’re going to win the Cup we are going to have to do it the hard way.”

This is Waterford's third consecutive away draw in the current competition and after disposing of the challenges of the Cork MSL team Everton and Bray Wanderers at the first time of asking they are not short of confidence. But they know Longford represent their toughest task to date.

Said McGeough: "Not my favourite draw, I would have preferred to have been drawn at home to Bohemians or somebody like that.
