05/03/2010 ST PATRICK'S ATHLETIC V GALWAY UNITED St Patrick's Athletic open their Airtricity League campaign this evening against Galway United at Richmond Park, kick-off 7.45pm. Galway will be missing the suspended Bobby Ryan, although new signing Stephen O'Donnell is expected to feature after a badly bruised eye meant he missed last Friday's friendly with Hull. Alan Murphy remains sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation after knee surgery. Saints have a head start on most sides in terms of sharpness as they already played a tough game against Linfield in the Setanta Cup. And Dan Connor has been added to the squad having signed for the Inchicore club during the week. And the first game of the season sees Pat's striker Vinny Faherty facing his former team-mates. Faherty said: 'I'm excited about playing Galway. I enjoyed my two and a half seasons there and I've still a lot of good friends there, the likes of Derek O'Brien, Cian McBrien and Seamus Conneely. 'The important thing for me on Friday is that Pat's get three points from the game and while I'd love to get on the score-sheet it's all about the team getting off to a winning start.'   This story has been reproduced from media sources and is not necessarily the position/opinion of St Patrick's Athletic
