Twigg as hungry as ever as Hoops set hearts on hat-trick

It won’t be what pretenders to their throne want to hear on the eve of the new season, but three-in-a-row-chasing Shamrock Rovers are as driven as ever, according to striker Gary Twigg.

“If you’re at Shamrock Rovers and you’re not hungry you have to have a look at yourself,” said Twigg ahead of the champions’ opening clash with Drogheda United at Hunky Dorys Park tonight.

“That’s why I came here, to win things, and I’ve been lucky enough to win back-to-back leagues. I think everyone is in the same boat this year. We all want to win the league. We all want to add to that collection.”
