Instilling further confidence with another three points on their travels is the goal for Sligo Rovers at Bray Wanderers tonight ahead of the visit of champions Cork City to the Showgrounds on Saturday.

"I have great aspirations for this football club and . . . this set of players," said manager Seán Connor after they came from behind to win 2-1 in Waterford on Friday, a victory that moved them to fifth in the table.

"It was a five-hour trip, but we came down the night before and prepared the right way.

"We are going to Bray with lots and lots of confidence. If we can get a win in Bray then, I tell you what, Cork City won't fancy coming to the Showgrounds."

With Keith Foy, recovered from a twisted knee, returning at left back, Chris Turner resumes in the middle of the park. Striker Paul McTiernan (ankle) remains sidelined for another fortnight.

Bray, second from the bottom, await international clearance for US striker Colin Vint, who has impressed on trial over the past month and will figure if eligible.

Wes Charles returns from suspension, though his fellow defender Paul O'Reilly is out with a groin strain.

Meanwhile, Shelbourne have opened negotiations with Fingal County Council and Clonliffe Harriers AC about the possibility of using Morton Stadium, Santry, as their home ground.

Drogheda United's Premier Division clash with fellow Uefa Cup participants Derry City, scheduled for United Park on Friday, has been postponed.

Following consultation with Derry, Drogheda yesterday applied for the postponement of the fixture because next week's Uefa Cup first qualifying round, second legs involve both clubs.

A new date for the game has yet to be confirmed.
