St Patrick’s Athletic will look to build on the two recent cup wins over Sligo when they face Paul Cook’s side at Richmond Park again this evening.
Pete Mahon rested Ryan Guy, Stuart Byrne and Damien Lynch for the 4-0 win at the Carlisle Grounds in midweek and all three are expected to return for this game.
Joseph Ndo’s long wait for clearance to play for the visitors is finally over but with the former Cameroon international having been out of action for so long at this stage, it seems unlikely that he will do more than get a run out at some stage late on.
Cook, though, has everyone else available to him.
