Armando and Connor lead Blues to break Ballybofey hoodoo
Friday, July 09, 2021
Matt Connor was one of the heroes for Waterford FC tonight in Ballybofey as he saved a second-half penalty in the Blues 1-0 win.
SSE Airtricity Premier Division
Waterford FC have ended an eight-year hoodoo without a win over Finn Harps that stretched back to August 2013 at Finn Park as an ice-cool penalty from new signing Quitirna Junior Armando gave Marc Bircham’s side a crucial win this evening.
But it was a superb penalty save from Matt Connor, who was replacing the injured Brian Murphy between the posts, seconds into the second-half that proved pivotal for the Blues as he denied Barry McNamee from the spot, and it allowed Waterford the chance to see out the game despite having Prince Mutswunguma sent off in injury-time.

Shamrock Rovers broke the all-time League of Ireland record of 30 games unbeaten by cruising past struggling Waterford, though it was a frustrating day for the returning Neil Farrugia in the 3-0 win at Tallaght Stadium.
Goals from Rory Gaffney, Gary O Neill and Danny Mandroiu eased the champions to victory and back to the top of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division table, Stephen Bradley s men dropping just four points in the first round of matches.
