Bohemians v St Mochta's (7.45)

Bohemians v St Mochta's (7.45)

Bohemians are close to full strength for the visit of their fellow northsiders with Graham O'Hanlon, Tony O'Connor and Jamie Harris all available. Avery John is away on international duty which means that Eoin Mullen may move in from full back, making way for the return of Robbie Brunton. "We're in good shape," says Roddy Collins "but to be honest I've got the butterflies about it because it's that classic case of us being in a no win situation and them having nothing to lose.

"I've seen what overconfidence can do to a club when they're odds-on favourites to win a game."

The visitors can hardly be accused to overconfidence, meanwhile, but joint player manager's Eamonn Balfe and Michael Keating aren't conceding defeat quite yet either.
