Most Finn Harps fans would have taken two wins and two draws from their first four outings so far this season.
But the reality was that Ollie Horgan’s side spluttered their way to a 1-1 draw against Galway United at Finn Park tonight.
Harps were forced to come from behind after a stunning curling shot from Vinnie Flaherty in the 36th minute put the visitors in front.
Harps tried throughout to carve out an equaliser with Ruairi Keating trying all sorts of trickery to get back on level terms.
But for a team that scored no less than eight goals in their previous two games before tonight, they only managed a couple of very real chances.
In fact, it wasn’t one of the starting team who equalised for Harps but sub Paul McVeigh.
McVeigh, only on the pitch a few minutes found an opening in a busy Galway box to make it 1-1 in the 75th minute.
Harps tried to turn the screw but they were missing the direct style of out and out striker Kevin McHugh.
Harps will be happy to remain unbeaten but Ollie Horgan will perhaps not be best pleased with his side’s overall performance.
Harps gave away cheap possession throughout and looked like a team short on ideas in the oppositions’ half.
