PRO boxer Jason Quigley has backed Ollie Horgan and Finn Harps to show their fighting spirit and retain their Premier Division status this year.
The recent announcement that three teams will be relegated from the Premier hasn’t made Harps challenge any easier, but rising middleweight ace Quigley feels that with the right public support Harps can defy the odds again in 2017.
Ballybofey man Quigley is always proud of his roots and recently wore the Harps jersey when he met with former Liverpool star Steven Gerrard in Los Angeles.
Quigley was at Finn Park today and, ahead of his return to LA tomorrow, said: “I wanted to come to Finn Park and show my support to everyone at the club as I have felt really proud of what Ollie and the squad have achieved over the last couple of seasons.
“As a professional sports person I know that the right support is vital so I would appeal to everyone to play their part in making sure the club has the resources to prepare and compete with the top clubs in the country.
“If everyone can stick together, stay positive and keep working hard, Harps can keep moving forward on and off the pitch.”
The club will be holding a public meeting at the Balor Theatre on Monday evening to update supporters on plans ahead of what promises to be a tough, but very exciting, Premier Division campaign for Ollie Horgan’s men.
Harps supporters, members of the media and the general public are invited to a Finn Harps open forum will take place in the Balor Theatre Ballybofey on Monday 9th at 7.45 pm. Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan and club officials will discuss plans and updates on preparations for new season.
