UPDATE: Shamrock Rovers’ midfielder Matt Healy is determined to capitalize on his team’s momentum as they aim for league and cup triumphs following a brief break. Just days after scoring the opener in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Drogheda, Healy is ready to make a significant impact as the season intensifies.

Healy has been a key player for the Rovers, featuring in 26 of the Hoops’ 28 league matches this season. The Cork native expressed his eagerness to return to action, stating, “We need to kick on and try to do the rest of the jobs as well.” With the team set to compete in at least 14 more matches across all competitions before Christmas, this week off is essential for recovery.

Looking ahead, Healy is fully focused on the upcoming FAI Cup quarter-final against Drogheda. “Hopefully we’ll go up there and win, into the semi-final, and then we’ll focus on the league games,” he said confidently.

Despite being only 23 years old, Healy is keen to enhance his scoring ability. He acknowledged, “I still definitely think I can score more than a few goals before the end of the season.” His goal-scoring potential is vital for the Rovers as they continue their quest for silverware.

The Shamrock Rovers have set ambitious goals this season: to win the league, secure the cup, and establish themselves in Europe. Having achieved the first step by qualifying for European competitions, the pressure is on to deliver further success.

As the Rovers prepare for their next challenge, supporters are eager to see if Healy can elevate his performance and help drive the team toward championship glory. The upcoming matches, especially the clash against Drogheda, are crucial as the team aims to build on their recent successes.
