Mervue manager Tom French, who made five changes to his side with Nicky Curran, Mike Tierney, Kenny Farrell, Gerry Burke and Darren Young all coming back into the team, said his side was punished by the failure to convert opportunities. "Again we are disappointed after putting in a good performance. We handled whatever Waterford threw at us pretty well - unfortunately for their first goal we had two chances to clear the ball out of the goal area but chose to take it down and got punished.
