UCD in strikers' crisis

UCD face a striking crisis ahead of their clash with St Patrick’s Athletic with three of their four strikers missing.

Paul Byrne (stomach muscle), Paul Whitmarsh (cracked kneecap) and Damien Dupuy (broken toe) are all ruled out of the clash with Pat McWalter UCD’s only remaining striker.

St Patrick’s Athletic will bring back Ger Rowe after he missed last week’s game against Shelbourne under the terms of his loan move to Richmond Park.
