Portadown close to full strength for Cork's visit

Irish League side Portadown will be looking to pick up their first Setanta Cup win as they face Group B leaders Cork City at Shamrock Park tonight.

The Irish League side will be near full strength after resting a number of their star men during Friday’s League clash with Coleraine, with first-choice goalkeeper David Miskelly the only absentee.

Portadown drew their opening match of the competition 3-3 with Shelbourne.

City, meanwhile, will be without the suspended Joe Gamble – sent off in their tournament opener against Shelbourne – with Colin O’Brien expected to deputise.

John O’Flynn is also expected to return to the squad though he may have to settle for a place on the bench.

Cork played out a disappointing 0-0 draw with UCD at Turner's Cross on Friday night.
