National League: Shelbourne skipper Owen Heary and Dave Rogers are fit for tonight's trip to Longford Town having missed the win over Waterford United on Friday. Striker Glen Crowe is Pat Fenlon's main doubt.

Leading scorer Jason Byrne, only on the bench in Waterford, is likely to start with Gary O'Neill up front.

Defender Danny O'Connor and midfielder Davy Byrne return from suspension for Longford, though Dessie Baker, sent off in Cork on Friday, is banned. John Martin's ongoing ankle injury means he's likely to miss the remainder of the season.

Longford boss Alan Mathews remains suspended from the dugout pending his hearing with the FAI tomorrow. Mathews has also denied reports he will take leave of absence from his bank job to take over at Bohemians.
