<strong>Bay</strong>s’ big season finish<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
FERRYMEAD BAYS will look<br />
to end their season on a high<br />
when they face Coastal Spirit in<br />
the English Cup final.<br />
At the start of the season,<br />
first team head coach Danny<br />
Halligan said he was aiming for<br />
a top three finish. But with only<br />
one league game left, the best<br />
the team can hope for is fourth<br />
spot.<br />
Halligan admitted it had been<br />
a bumpy season, but said the<br />
team prioritised this weekend’s<br />
final league match against Western<br />
before they would focus on<br />
competing for silverware.<br />
“Yes, we missed out on the top<br />
three spot and we’re now focussing<br />
on finishing the league<br />
season strongly. Then we can<br />
look forward to the English Cup<br />
final (Saturday, September 3),”<br />
he said.<br />
Halligan said losing key<br />
players to injury and even rival<br />
teams hadn’t helped the side’s<br />
momentum.<br />
“I think we’ve got stronger<br />
as we’ve gone on, we had a<br />
poor start and lost a number of<br />
players either to injury or other<br />
reasons and we never got that<br />
consistency that we needed,” he<br />
said.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s were holders of the English<br />
Cup in both 2012 and 2013,<br />
but Western and Cashmere<br />
Technical have taken the honours<br />
for the last two seasons.<br />
Halligan said his side have a<br />
“good chance” of taking away<br />
the cup, as Coastal have never<br />
taken the title.<br />
“We have a good team and,<br />
if we perform, we can beat any<br />
team, and we’ve proved that this<br />
season,” he said.<br />
Coastal has played <strong>Bay</strong>s three<br />
times this season, winning each<br />
time.<br />
They beat <strong>Bay</strong>s 3-0, 5-3, and<br />
1-0 over the season, leading into<br />
the final next Saturday.<br />
