Boyd aiming to make a ‘difference’ for Finn Harps after Cup heroics

written by Chris McNulty September 20, 2021
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint

SEAN Boyd hailed Finn Harps’ spirit after their thrilling FAI Cup draw with Dundalk on Friday.

Boyd struck a late double in Friday’s 3-3 draw as Harps secured a quarter-final replay.

After pulling a goal back in the 84th minute, Boyd’s decisive 95th minute strike secured a dramatic draw.

“That’s what I come off the bench to do,” Boyd said.

“I wasn’t just coming on to float around. I’m coming on to make a difference.

“It’s what I planned to go out to do, even though I didn’t expect it to happen that way.”

Harps led through Tunde Owolabi’s opener, but the night swung five minutes later. Referee Damien McGraith controversially sent Harps full-back Jordan Mustoe off for a handball infringement and Pat Hoban netted from the penalty.

Sean Murray drilled Dundalk in front and Hoban’s second, a 65th minute header, had the Lilywhites 3-1 ahead.

The ten men rallied and refused to wilt.

Boyd said:  “It was very impressive. The lads really dug in. There was a spell where Dundalk looked like they’d score more goals, but the lads dug in and defended well. They left it with a slight chance of doing something.

“Barry (McNamee) said to us: ‘go on and make a difference’.  That’s what happened and that’s why we have a squad.”

Boyd returned to Harps this season after over a year out with injury. The Dubliner suffered a ruptured cruciate and torn meniscus at the end of 2019.

He said: “I feel now I’m in a position where I can have a little push. I played against Bohemians on Monday and had to look after myself because it’s been a while since I played that long in a game.

“I want to play as much football as I can.”
