Champs keen to get back on title track

AFTER suffering two consecutive league defeats, Bohemians travel to Oriel Park this evening boosted by their Setanta Cup semi-final victory over Linfield.

“We defended really well against Linfield and that is what we haven't been doing as a team over the last number of weeks,” says manager Pat Fenlon. “This was exactly what was required. It showed what we can do as a team. Dundalk have had a great start to the season and have been playing well but after Monday’s win we’re looking forward to taking them on.”

For the Linfield game, Jason McGuinness and Mark Rossiter returned from spells out of the team to perform strongly and the squad is now injury-free. Owen Heary returns this evening following a bereavement but central defender Ken Oman and striker Raffaele Cretaro are missing due to the red cards received in the dramatic 3-2 loss to Galway United.
