Matt dreaming of trophy glory

Matt O Halloran wants to win his first medals at Welton this season, declaring the Socialites should fear no-one after their wins over Ivy Tavern and Magnet Tavern in recent weeks.
Al Taylor’s side were 3-0 up against Ivy however, a rousing comeback by Ivy threatened to send the Socialites tumbling out of the competition they have reached the final of in three of the last four seasons until O Halloran struck his brilliant winner with ten minutes remaining.

O Halloran says that his side are hitting top form at the right time and hopes to make a Cup final in his debut season for the Socialites.

He said: "I would like to look back on my career at the trophies I have won. We have a great chance. This is a competition that we can win.

"A couple of big teams have gone out and, if we can show the character we have shown against Ivy and Magnet Tavern, hopefully we can beat anybody now."

“We know that we have it in our locker to go out and win games like we did against Golden Eagle the other Week but it’s games like this that make the difference.” Said the former Oldham Athletic man.

“Having lost a three goal lead a lot of teams would have gone on to lose that game but we showed our bottle and did enough in the end.”

Welton now have another fortnight of Cup matches to look forward to including this Weekends County Cup Semi Final against Tap and Spile.

“It’s been difficult in the last couple of weeks knowing that the Semi final of the county Cup is only a couple of weeks away.”

“It’s a game we have all been looking forward to but we have been professional and put it to one side and won some tough fixtures recently.”

“It’s a massive game this Sunday, It’s games like this that made me want to come to Welton S&SC and hopefully we can get another positive result.”
