Not only was it a great result to get 3 points against Institute FC, Manager Darren Mullen was also delighted to give TJ Hughes his first team debut, “TJ has been doing very well for the U20s and had scored 2 that morning in their win so his debut was well deserved. Our squad is stretched very thin at the minute so we need the best young players at the club coming through and TJ is certainly one of those. He’s the 4th of the Hughes brothers to play for the first team and I’m sure it’s a day he won’t forget. What he needs to do now is keep working hard to make sure it’s not his last appearance.”

TJ commented “I was absolutely delighted that Darren gave me a chance and allow me to make my debut in such a big game. I can’t wait for the future and hopefully get some more playing time.”
