City boss hopes for Devine inspiration in Setanta decider

DROGHEDA United and Cork City must put thoughts of their upcoming Setanta Cup Final to one side tonight, as they resume their battle for supremacy at the top of the eircom League.

Second-placed Cork take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds with goalkeeper Michael Devine still out through a knee injury, although the latest progress report is encouraging to such an extent that manager Damien Richardson now reports that Devine might even be available for tomorrow week's Setanta decider.

Says the City boss: "The specialist was very happy with what he saw this week, there wasn't much damage done, so, after doing a little bit of training on his own yesterday and today, he should be able to train with the rest of us after the weekend. And we'll see how he goes from there."
