FAI Cup Replay

Finn Harps v Cork City

While St Francis travel to Longford for a re-fixed league match this evening, the bulk of attention will focus on Finn Park where Harps will be trying to dump the Cup holders out of this year's competition at the second attempt.

The Donegal men reckon they had the better of the first encounter, so there is some confidence about this replay. But manager Charlie McGeever make it clear that "we won't getting carried away either, because City have the best away record in the league - easily - and so this is going to be very hard indeed".

Neither team will be much changed from the line-ups which won at the weekend. Harps will give a late fitness test to Declan Boyle, who came off at half-time in Dalymount, while Gareth Cronin is likely to be back in City's squad, if not their team, after missing the game at Bray.

So far this season the encounters between these two have been tight, with the southerners ahead by virtue of their league victory at Turner's Cross before Christmas. McGeever feels that his side are at their best right now, though, and that should, at the very least, make for an interesting tussle.
