Look I think there's been a lot of change at the club so first of all you want to start off as good as you can the first kind of series of games and build on that and obviously a club like Waterford is probably looking at a cup competition having not won it for X amount of years.

It's a long, long time to be without a trophy at the top level.

So, you know, a good Cup run can really, you know, spur you on for the following season, as we saw with Drogheda a couple of years ago when they won the Cup and they went on to have a really good season last year.

So, you know, that's the type of thing we need to be looking at.

Obviously, it's going to be very difficult this year to break into that top half of the table with the teams that are on show in that half and probably the budgets that they have compared to maybe the ones in the other five.

So it's going to be really difficult, but, you know, it's a challenge that we're up for.
