A 'massive day' for the club says Limavady Wolfhounds manager

Limavady Wolfhounds manager Declan Toner has spoken of his pride after helping guide the club back to senior football for the first time since 1993.

The Roesiders confirmed their place as the best team in the intermediate ranks with a convincing win over Greenlough last week.

“I can't really put into words, I'm just so emotional at the moment," admitted Toner.

“First time we've been in senior football since 1993. We last won the league in 1989 so it's been a long time coming.

“It just shows you whenever we can get a club, everybody pulling together and get a group of players all pulling in one way, magic can happen.

“This is all in the players. Last year we were fighting relegation and we were very lucky to avoid it. This year the boys really bought in, a different mindset, a different attitude.

“We have 24-25 players there and I couldn't be prouder than every single one of them. 18 men played today but realistically we have about 23-24 men have carried us throughout the year.

“It's also down to the work we did underage with them and all the underage coaches. It's been a massive day for the club, a massive day for the team and I'm very, very proud of everybody involved.

“We have some very, very talented footballers here. But the one thing I would say is they all work hard, they all pull their way and there's no egos.

“There's no egos in that changing room. We don't like picking out the individual players for praise,” he added.
