Richardson happy to be in a catch 22 situation

DAMIEN Richardson is confident that goalkeeper Michael Devine will be fit for tomorrow's Setanta Sports Cup final.

But the Cork City manager admits that it's going to be a tough call to pick him ahead of in-form stand-in Mark McNulty.

"Michael trained again yesterday and it looks like he's okay," Richardson reported. "Today we'll have him kicking for the first time but at this stage it looks like he will be available for selection. It's a big decision between him and Mark. Mark has done exceptionally well and if I leave him out, I'm making a big choice but if I don't put Michael in I'm making a big choice as well. It's the devil and the deep blue sea syndrome."
