Dalymount pitch deemed playable

Tonight's eircom League Premier Division clash between Dublin City and UCD goes ahead as scheduled following a morning pitch inspection.

Dalymount Park was inspected at 11am and deemed playable by officials.  Kick-off is at 7.45pm.

The hosts are without  Stuart Malcolm, Gavin McDonnell (both suspended) and Ger McCarthy (ankle).

UCD manager Pete Mahon is expected to stick with the same side that comprehensively beat Sligo Rovers 3-0 last time out.
