Crowe ready to rumble
The mid-season break in the eircom League came at precisely the right moment for its top striker, Glenn Crowe, and the Bohemians marksman will be ready to rock when the season resumes on Monday evening.
The Irish international front man has netted just three times this season, six less than Cork City’s under-21 international John O’Flynn, but Crowe - who has won the league’s golden boot for the past three seasons - will not give up his title without a fight over the next six months.
The former Exeter City man’s season has been hindered by a knee injury, which also kept him out of Ireland’s Euro 2004 double-header against Albania and Georgia earlier this month.
But the three-week rest, seven days of which was spent with his clubmates on the holiday isle of Cyprus, has brought him back to fitness, and he should be ready to lead the line when the Gypsies - with just three wins all season - aim to get their title defence back on the road against O’Flynn’s Cork City on Monday.
Bohs boss Stephen Kenny said: "His injury seems to be okay now, and all he needs is to get a few games under his belt. He’s getting that little bit sharper all the time."
