HEGARTY COMMENDS U-21'S

19th March 2002

After last night's convincing Under-21 home win over a strong Hibernian outfit, Paul Hegarty praised the young Tangerines for the commitment and skill demonstrated on the occasion: "We are very satisfied with the overall team performance over the ninety minutes and we earned three well-deserved points. We especially owe our victory to keeper Paul Jarvie, who made three magnificent saves in the starting minutes that kept us in the game and which we were subsequently able to build on. We are also very pleased with the contribution of the senior players who led by example allowing our youngsters to bring themselves in and shine. Particular credit must go to Paul Allum, Steven Anderson, Stephen O'Donnell as well as Danny Ogunmade, who came on later in the game and produced the excellent cross leading to the second goal. Having named individuals, I can only reiterate that it was a brilliant team performance and I hope we carry yesterday's momentum forward to Wednesday's match versus Aberdeen."
