Bohs going all out for perfect ten without injured boss

BOHEMIANS’ manager Gareth Farrelly will again occupy a seat on the substitutes’ bench when they attempt to extend their unbeaten run in the eircom League to ten matches against Longford Town at Dalymount Park tonight (7.45 pm).

Farrelly played his first five minutes for Bohs when he came in as substitute against Cork City last week on his way back from a hamstring injury but he feels he needs another couple of weeks rehabilitation before he can expect to play regularly.

Bohs are still some way below the level they hit two years ago when they dominated the competition but their long unbeaten run has done wonders for confidence. How they must be regretting their stuttering start to the season when they allowed Shelbourne open up a substantial gap at the head of the table.
