Mahon must shake things up a little

Bray Wanderers v UCD: After Tuesday's defeat in the League Cup final at Belfield, Pete Mahon will look to shake things up a little in his UCD team this evening at Bray where defeat would be a severe blow to a club who started the week with such optimism.

Mahon, who feels that several of his players are feeling the effects of what has been a tough campaign, is likely to bring Robbie Martin, Conor Kenna and Damien Dupuy into the starting line-up after Tuesday's game in which, he says, only two of his players really played to their potential.

"The pity of it is that Derry probably didn't play all that well the other night, but we were poor they didn't have to do too much," he says. "Now we have to go and pick ourselves up for the game with Bray, but it's tough to go back there so soon after beating them because I'm sure they'll be anxious to get a bit of revenge."

Alan McNally again misses out with a hamstring injury but everybody else is available to Mahon who may switch things around so as to return Tony McDonnell to central midfield where he was missed against Derry.

"I'll wait until shortly before the game before making a final call on things," says Mahon, "because I have quite a few things to weigh up.

"It's a huge game for both clubs but the lads are all determined to get it right."

Former UCD player, Jody Lynch, now Bray's skipper, looks set to miss out with an ankle injury while Paul Caffrey is cup-tied. Colm James returns from suspension.
