St Patrick's Athletic V Bohemians

  • Tue, Aug 11, 2009 @ 13:13

St Patrick's Athletic will be hoping to bring their European form into the domestic competition when they take on Bohemians at Richmond Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

Manager Jeff Kenna has no injury concerns as both Mark Quigley and Gary Dempsey are fit and available for selection, however, the Saints must do without the suspended Declan O'Brien and Garreth O'Connor.

Kenna said: 'It's great to have Mark and Gary back for selection. They might be lacking a bit of match sharpness but they're back in full training and available.

'They are two of the most influential players at the club and it's great to be able to call on them again.

'In the last four weeks the level of performance in the European games has been excellent.

'That level has to remain between now and the end of the season and I expect all the players to approach this game against Bohemians the same way they did the games against Krylya.'

Bohs manager Pat Fenlon hopes to have Owen Heary fully fit ahead of the trip to Inchicore.

Jason McGuinness remains out with a back injury, while an ankle problem keeps Anto Murphy out.

Fenlon said: 'It should be a good game. We're going into it in good form and St Pat's have had a fantastic result in Europe during the week.

'I'm sure the Pat's supporters will come out in big numbers and we usually bring a huge travelling support there too. With a good atmosphere and with the pitch always being good at Richmond, it has the makings of a good game.'
