:23:09. > :23:12.is a huge boost, particularly for the town. We've been looking forward
:23:13. > :23:18.to it, and we will be prepared. His face may be as critical, but
:23:19. > :23:20.does have one big concern, his first choice keeper Brian Neeson is
:23:21. > :23:25.nursing a nasty rib injury, and hasn't trained this week.
:23:26. > :23:31.I've just been resting since Saturday. Still a bit tender, but I
:23:32. > :23:36.expect to play on Saturday. The cup final is a big deal, it's my first
:23:37. > :23:40.one, and it is something I want to win for Carrick.
:23:41. > :23:46.With the first choice keeper, these boys are ready for battle. The

:24:58. > :25:04.never point the finger at someone trying his heart out. We all need to
:25:05. > :25:09.step up. If we do that, we're going to be fine. If the win, fantastic,
