Finn Harps (H)

A busy week for the club, firstly getting Drogheda out of the bowl in tonight's Cup draw, followed by the charity match for John Doyle against Killarney Celtic in Killarney tomorrow, and finally, welcoming Harps to Mounthawk Park on Friday. The Donegal side have been our favourite opponents statistically so far, with both matches finishing as 1-1 draws. Ryan Kelliher made his case for a recall to the starting line-up with Friday's brace against Ringmahon, and leaving Okwute on the bench may well be the necessary shake-up required for him to make an impact when introduced. Still too early to make a call on the other signings, but Billy will be reluctant to change a winning team, and with Matt Keane and Cian Brosnan also eager to force their way back into the first XI, a repeat of the previous matches would be welcome to keep up recent momentum.

Obviously, the Celtic game being largely an exhibition affair, a scratch team is being put out tonight, but if any player impresses for the home side, they could catch Dennehy's eye - a Botswana striker called Witness Odirile has been scoring for fun in the KDL since replacing Kelliher, so will be intriguing to see how he fares.

And Kerry FC win 1-0, thanks to a Togor Silong goal - interesting, given it was a largely full-strength team Celtic fielded today, so between tonight and the Ringmahon game last Friday, indications of the club being somewhere on the border between low senior and high intermediate standard, which is where the third tier presumably would have been.

Good to get into a winning habit no matter the opposition. There have been some good performances in recent weeks. The frustrating thing is that it has not come together for a good run of results.

Vasiu, Williams and Kelliher come into the starting XI from last week. Gleeson and Teahan drop to the bench. Okwute misses out through injury. With the experience built up through out the season so far, more positive results should be expected but still tough of course.

[culloty82]

I'll go for 1-1, as in the prediction game, but hopeful that we might just break the League duck tonight.

[legendz]

I'll be brave and go for a 2-1 home win!

Disaster conceding the late goal from the free. Been the story of the season.

Will Axworthy be suspended for next week for picking up the second yellow, or does that only apply to straight reds?

Auto one game ban. Up to disciplinary committee to decide how many extra, if any.
