Saints look for Setanta Cup lift

PETE MAHON is hoping for some of that fabled bouncebackability from his St Patrick’s Athletic side in their Setanta Cup semi-final first leg against Sligo Rovers at Richmond Park this evening (kick-off 7.45pm).

Pats were shocked by struggling Drogheda United in the Airtricity League on Friday and their manager is looking for the right response tonight.

“I was bitterly disappointed with the manner of the defeat but we have to take it on the chin and move on,” says Mahon. “The sign of a good team is how they react to defeat and tonight will be a big test for us.
