City face Boh in table top clash

Cork City take on league leaders Bohemians in tonight's top of the table televised clash at Turner’s Cross, kick-off 7.45pm.

Liam Kearney and Pat Sullivan return to the Cork squad having missed the victory in Sligo through suspension, while John O’Flynn came through another substitute appearance unscathed as he continues his impressive return from injury.

New signing Lawrie Dudfield (calf) and midfielder Colin Healy (knee) were both substituted in the win at the Showgrounds having suffered knocks, but both are expected to be available.

Cork City manager Alan Mathews said: “We returned to winning ways in Sligo on Sunday, where we picked up three valuable points with a very hard-working and committed performance.

"Bohs are top of the table on merit, but we come into the game with a good run of form behind us and it is important that we apply ourselves to get the right result.

Bohs are likely to name the same starting eleven that played in their midweek victory at Dalymount, although Killian Brennan and Mark Rossiter both picked up injuries and may be doubtful for the trip south.

Ken Oman, Glenn Cronin, Jason McGuinness and Liam Burns remain out injured for the Gypsies.
