Sligo Rvs v Shamrock Rvs, (7.30)

Neither manager will make too many changes after good performances at the weekend. The visitors, though, will have to change things around to cope with the loss of Brian Morrisroe, who was carried off during Friday night's defeat of Shelbourne. Mark O'Neill or Billy Woods, who came on as substitutes, are in contention for the starting place, but Brendan Markey may get in ahead of either of them.

Tony Cousins is still not fully fit after receiving seven stitches to a facial injury last week, but the Dubliner will almost certainly start, partnering Jason Sherlock in an unchanged attack.

Nicky Reid, meanwhile, has a few injury problems on the horizon with Mattie Hare, Neil Ogden and Jim Sheridan all facing lay-offs next week. For the moment, however, it is only his own absence that he has to cope with: the player/manager must sit this one out after being sent off against Bray. Brian Hetherston, who came on late in Saturday's game, having finally shaken off a troublesome flu, may return to the home side's starting line-up.
