In his programme notes for the game, Kilduff looked forward to continuing his winning streak in the SSE Airtricity Men's First Division.

"It’s our final game in the first round of games. After tonight we will have seen every team in the division. We’re obviously delighted with the points tally we’ve accumulated so far. But even after against Cobh tonight, we know we’re only a quarter of the way through the season. 

“We’ve a long way to go. I think with the new group, and coming where the club has come from, we’ve got to be happy to this point.

“We know tonight we’re going to have a really tough game against Cobh. A team themselves that have strengthened, and have huge ambitions as a club going forward. They have some really talented players, and we’re gonna have our work cut out for sure.

“As a unit we’re going well right now. I think there’s a lot to be optimistic about.
