Amid the ongoing participation of much of the First Division in the FAI Cup, it's notable that both basement battlers are in League action tonight, with Longford travelling to Ballybofey, and ourselves hosting the second-tier champions. After the sickener of last week's equaliser saw the gap to the Midlanders halved, the Kerry management will know that nothing less than full concentration will suffice this evening, and that home advantage must be converted into points on the board with only three Mounthawk Park fixtures remaining. It remains to be seen what kind of line-up Cork will field tonight, on the one hand, they'll want to show full respect for the opposition, but on the other they've earned the right to give fringe players some game time between now and season's end, and in any event, their subs would probably be a match themselves for much of the division. Still, anything less than a draw tonight will probably prove to be a missed opportunity in terms of hanging on to ninth for the remainder of the season.

Hopefully catch them on an off night. I'm going for a 2 2 draw ..Game hasn't sold out yet which is disappointing

Certainly seems to be a very raw Cork team tonight, whereas we're pretty much along expected lines.
