McGeough relishes challenge of meeting Shelbourne in opener

WHEN Jimmy McGeough said he welcomed a match against Shelbourne — one of the best teams in the League — for Waterford’s opening contest in the Premier Division, he was being true to form.

The Derryman never shirked a tackle in his life.

McGeough may face a daunting campaign after running away with the first division last season. The ultra-slick and professional Shelbourne set the standard for them tonight at the Waterford RSC (7.30pm kick-off).
