Chris Stewart saluted his players for dragging Finaghy to the brink of silverware – but he knows the most nerve-shredding part of the season still lies ahead.
The high-flying Wedderburn Park outfit have lost just once all season – a Junior Shield defeat at Bangor Young Men two weeks ago – and so remain heavily involved in the hunt for 2A and both the Cochrane Corry and Junior cups.
To date, it’s been the best campaign yet since the former Derriaghy midfielder moved across town some seven years ago, and just reward, he says, for all the hard work and dedication of everyone associated with the club.
