Kenna looks for home form

Jeff Kenna wants his St Patrick’s Athletic team to bring their away form to Richmond Park tomorrow night where they take on Dundalk in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

The Saints boss has presided over two away victories over Cork City and Sligo Rovers in the last two series of games and told stpatsfc.com that he is looking for more of the same in Inchicore:

“We’ve had two back to back wins on the road and it’s up to us now to put on a performance for the home fans after the disappointment of the Galway game.”

Kenna welcomes back Damian Lynch and Glenn Fitzpatrick from suspension but will have to do without John Lester who serves a one-match ban. Also out are long term injury victims Stephen Maher and Brendan Clarke.

Kenna will also be forced to change a winning team as Garreth O’Connor picked up a thigh strain in Sligo and is expected to be out for a minimum of two weeks. On a positive note last season’s top scorer Mark Quigley played for half an hour in Sligo and could be set to return to the starting eleven.

“It’s disappointing to be without Garreth but it opens the door for others to come in and stake a claim," Kenna said. "We’ve a few who can come in and play wide. It’s good to have Mark back too and we’ll be looking to get him involved in the game at some point.”
