First-Team Manager Billy Dennehy said; “The level we are playing at means the games are very physical. The players are giving absolutely everything and are playing at a very high intensity. The energy throughout the game against Treaty United was what I have asked out of every player.

“I don’t think any game worries me or the players. We are going to Galway with confidence. Of course, Galway sits top of the league and has huge resources behind them compared to what we have at the moment. There is no doubt there is a gap there but in every game we have played we have brought new things out in our style of play and I hope we can do that again on Friday,” he added.

Stephen McCarthy is also side-lined with injury. Andy Quaid, having picked up two yellows in our last game is suspended.

Matt Keane, who suffered a broken nose v Bray Wanderers passed a fitness test and played v Treaty United last time out. He is available for selection once more.

Trpimir Vrlijack, who missed the game against Treaty United with an ankle injury remains a doubt and will be subject to a late fitness test to see if he can make the squad. New signing Cian Barrett is available to Billy Dennehy for the fixture.
