Bohemians - Cork City

Injuries continue to plague Bohemians
as they struggle to kick-start their
season.

Dave Morrison (hernia), Ken Oman
(ankle), Thomas Heary (stomach) and
topscorer Glen Crowe (hamstring) are
all out as they search for a first win
in six games. Goalkeeper Shay Kelly and
Robert Doyle return to the squad. 'We
are all disappointed about last week's
defeat, but we have to put it behind
us,' said boss Stephen Kenny of their
shock loss to bottom club Dublin City.

Cork remain without striker John
O'Flynn (knee), but have midfielder

Shamrock Rovers-Dublin City

'It's a monkey off our backs,' said
Vikings' boss John Gill of their first
win of the season against Bohemians
last week.

'It was the way we did it and who we
did it against that was most pleasing.
We played a full-time outfit and beat
them. If we can compete with and beat
Bohs we are not too far away.' Alan
Keely (hamstring) and Tony O'Connor
(knee) remain out, but Ray Scully and
Thomas McGauley are back from injury.

In-form Rovers have Stephen Grant fit
again but boss Liam Buckley is unlikely
to change his successful 4-3-3
formation.
Shels - St Pats

'We've struggled to get results at
home, but we've been good on the road
and won well at Drogheda and Longford,
tough places to go,' said St Pats boss
Eamonn Collins.

Striker Gary McPhee may be out for up
to four months after badly dislocating
his shoulder in last week's defeat to
Rovers. Collins has left-back Karim El
Khebyr fit following a knee injury.

Aside from Tony McCarthy's continued
absence with a hamstring strain, Shels
are at full strength. New Republic of
Ireland International Jason Byrne is
expected to feature after returning
from Poland.

Drogs- Longford Town

'We are playing with the confidence the
results we have got give you,' said
Drogheda boss Paul Doolin as his side
look for a sixth clean sheet and fifth
win of the season.

'Maybe the things that are going our
way wouldn't be if we were down the
bottom of the table.' With Alan Reilly
banned, Gavin Whelan or Barry Molloy
vie to replace him in midfield.

Defender Stephen Paisley is out for
Town with a thigh strain, but knocks to
Alan Murphy, Brian McGovern, Sean
Francis and Philip Keogh aren't
expected to rule them out of
contention.

PTDSEI, where could I find team news for the UCD game tonight? I dont usually follow the Irish leagues but with the UK+other euro winding up I'm going to have to get into the summer leagues. Is the Irish league better then the Scandinavian ones for gambling?

[Snowman]

Rosario, I think Irish is harder to call than Scandinavian, there are lots of draws in Eircom, while even when there are not, the games are low scoring, so you are worried till the last second.

At least thats the way I see it.

You'll find more on the ucd game at www.fai.ie or www.elevenaside.com under first division. i think they are not bad odds to win tonight as i saw limerick this season against galway united and thought that they were useless.

[OperationRosario]

Cheers guys, im going to have a small interest in the Irish leagues tonight, just to test the water.

Does the Swedish league get much coverage on here?

[OperationRosario]

Just had a look at the UCD game livescore, 3-0 up, wish I put a bit more on them now. Mind you I can see from the other games how unpredictable they are.

Still time to go though.
