St Pat's without cup-tied O'Brien

Waterford United host St Patrick's Athletic in this evening's FAI Ford Cup clash at the RSC, kick-off 7pm.

St Pat's travel south to Waterford without striker Declan O'Brien as he is cup-tied.

Saints boss Jeff Kenna may also have to plan without Jamie Harris (hamstring), Garreth O'Connor (knee) and Darragh Ryan (hip) as they are all injury concerns.

Kenna said: "Waterford are a good side, they're challenging for promotion at the top of the division and have home advantage so I'm sure they'll put it up to us."

Blues boss Stephen Hederson will be hoping that home advantage will guide them through to the semi-finals.

Henderson has a full squad to choose from apart from Paul McCarthy and David Grincell who are both out injured.
