Bohs aim for six in a row

Bohemians will be hoping to make it six games unbeaten against a Shelbourne side anxious to get back to winning ways at Dalymount Park.

Shelbourne lost to Linfield in the Setanta Cup last week but remain top of the table. A defeat tonight could see them knocked off the top by Derry City.

However, they will be without the suspended Colin Hawkins and winger Richie Baker (hamstring) for the clash that will also see Glen Crowe and Bobby Ryan face their former club for the first time.

Bohemians, meanwhile, could have a serious problem in defence with regular centre half Jimmy Aggrey suspended while his likely replacement Terry Palmer is struggling with a groin problem.

Manager Gareth Farrelly said: “It’s a big game for us as it always is. We’re playing well at the moment and looking forward to it.”
