St Pat's and Bohs prepare for showdown at Richmond Park

St Patrick’s Athletic and Bohemians go head-to-head in tonight's top of the table clash at Richmond Park, kick-off 8.00pm.

Pat's welcome back Stephen Paisley from suspension, although David Partridge, Joe O’Cearuill, Michael Keane and John Frost remain out as they are all injured.

Another boost for Saints boss Johnny McDonnell is the return of Joseph Ndo to the squad as he returns from a lengthy absence.

Defender David Partridge has also recovered from injury and will be included in the squad for the visit of the Gypsies.

John Paul Kelly is out for Bohs as he is struggling with a knee injury, while skipper Kevin Hunt and Thomas Heary both remain out with long-term injuries.

And Stephen O'Donnell is a doubt for Pat Fenlon's side, as is Glenn Cronin and Conor Powell as they are all carrying knocks.
