Another season is upon us, and after a slow start to the off season, the squad is starting to take shape.
Welcome to Harpin' On, a blog that will follow the finest team in all the land, Finn Harps.
This blog was born from a passing comment after the last minute win against Waterford last April, "Dave Webster has a real thing for Waterford. Or more, they must have a real hatred for him." He had just scored his second goal for the club, his first having been against Waterford the season before, in a 3-2 away victory that proved to be catalyst for an unlikely upturn in results. Harps indeed completed a miraculous escape on the final day of the season, beating Waterford with Webster making a vital block on the line in the dying seconds to deny them an equaliser. That block kept Harps in the premier division and denied Waterford a place in Europe the following summer. The back story was there too, Webster himself had played for Waterford in 2018, when Waterford successfully navigated their way to fourth place, only to be denied a European place by UEFA rules, over their name change.
The article was written but, it felt like the wrong time to start a blog and to share it. The club was on the up and the buzz was certainly there, but there was no structure, necessity or purpose for a blog at the time. The article was just an observation with nothing more to follow. The brief synopsis I just gave of it there will hopefully give an idea of the kind of thing we're going for with this.
But here we are, ready to give it a go!
There will be a season preview in the next week, and another article which is a bit of fun that will carry on throughout the season.
Thanks for the support.
Up the Harps!
