St. Patrick’s Athletic v Shelbourne
FAI Cup – Round Three Replay
Tolka Park – Monday, September 1st – KO 8.00pm
Following Friday week’s drawn game at Richmond Park and the aborted replay, due to floodlight failure, on Tuesday night last, Shelbourne and St. Patrick’s Athletic have it all to do again on Monday night, the Third Round FAI Ford Cup tie to be decided on the night. Kick-off at Tolka Park is 8.00pm.
Though under pressure for much of the first game, the Shels defence, backed by goalkeeper, Gregg Murray held out for a 1-1 draw, Murray collecting the ‘Man of the Match’ award for his efforts.
Since last Monday, Shelbourne played First Division leaders Longford Town at Tolka Park on Friday, hoping to earn a win, which would have put them in joint first place with the ‘Midlanders’. As it happened, the game ended 0-0, leaving the same three points difference between the teams.
While Shelbourne were dividing the spoils at Tolka, St. Pat’s were doing the business in Derry and coming away with a good three points, courtesy of an Aaron Greene goal.
If the excitement of the Richmond Park game is repeated at the Drumcondra venue on Monday, the expected large crowd will go home happy that they have witnessed a real cup-tie.
Manager, Johnny McDonnell reports that all players came through Friday’s game without injury, so he should have a full squad to choose from, with the exception of Darren Tinnelly, and Keith Quinn, who has picked up a knock on the knee in training.
Shelbourne have no suspensions for this game.
They will, of course, be without Adam McDonnell, who signed for Ipswich town on Saturday.
Suspended: None
Injured: Darren Tinnelly, Keith Quinn
Doubtful: None
