Waterford stand in the way of promotion, thank God it's football

Antrim defeated by Tipp, they now face Waterford to keep promotion hopes alive.
Thank God we aren't talking about the hurling here but Division 4 football.
We are currently trying to make it out of the league containing the worst teams in the land and although it's hateful being down there all we can do is hope to get out of it.
It's demoralising to see an Antrim side go down to a football 'power' like Tipp but it would be a lot worse if we blew our chance of promotion out of the bottom rung by losing to Waterford. God forbid!
The Saffrons rarely do anything the easy way but we have to get out of there to give our younger players something to play for next season.
A couple of my home club's young lads Paul Fisher and Martin Jones travelled to Donegal on Saturday to take on the home side's minors and came home after giving the Tír Chonaill lads a good drubbing.
It's only a challenge game but important nonetheless for these young men's confidence to register a good away win.
