Lee Power hails Waterford progress

After watching his Swindon Town side plummet into English League Two earlier this month, owner Lee Power is hoping his Waterford FC side can bring him better news this weekend.

Londoner Power took over at Waterford when it seemed the club could go out of business, and has seen the south-east club progress to the summit of the First Division, and they now face a top-of-the-table clash at Cobh Ramblers on Saturday, a massive fixture in the promotion battle.

“It’s been a whirlwind situation for us here at Waterford,” said Power, who played for Ireland’s U21s in the 1990s, during a professional career which took him to clubs across England and Scotland, most notably Norwich. “We are only halfway through the season but if you would have told me that we would be in this position I would have snapped your hand off.”
