SPORTING Fingal will look to go straight back to the top of the Premier League table by beating UCD tonight at the Belfield Bowl (7.45pm kick-off), where Liam Buckley will be in a position to field what is almost a full-strength team.

Having inflicted a first defeat of the season on Dundalk last Friday, the Dubliners are now unbeaten themselves since the opening night of the campaign when they lost narrowly at Dalymount Park.

John Frost (hamstring), Brendan Clarke (ankle) and Kevin Dawson (calf) are all back in contention for a place in Buckley’s starting line-up, while Shaun Williams returns from suspension, although Shane Barrett is still reckoned to be a week or so away due to a thigh strain.

The students have everyone bar Brian Connaughton and Gareth Matthews fit and available and young Dwayne Wilson come into contention after his goal and strong performance in the Leinster Senior Cup match against Drogheda United.
