Cobh looking to upset St Pats

HAVING shocked high-flying Shamrock Rovers with a 2-0 victory at St Colman’s Park last Saturday, Cobh Ramblers will need to be at their very best again for the trip to Richmond Park to take on St Patrick’s Athletic (k.o. 7.45pm).

League-leaders Pats were scintillating in their 2-0 win over Linfield in the Setanta Cup this week but, conscious of Cobh’s victory against the Hoops, manager John McDonnell is taking nothing for granted this evening.

“Rovers don’t concede too many goals,” he said, “so to beat them 2-0 was quite a result. We’ll need to be on our guard and we’ll need to treat Cobh with the full respect they deserve.”
