CORK CITY, the National League's most travelled club bring their number of trips to Dublin already this season to five when they take on Bohemians in the League Cup semi-final at Dalymount Park tonight (7.30).

Cork knew that their relative isolation in the Premier Division this season - their nearest away match is Richmond Park Inchicore - would be problematic enough, but this was compounded by away draws in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the League Cup.

But Cork are philosophical about it, their recent good run of five games without defeat helping them along the way. "We've travelled well recently, so we want to keep that momentum going," said assistant manager Liam Murphy.

Dave Hill and Ollie Cahill continue their suspensions so Cork expect to be unchanged from Saturday. Bohemians, however, make a number of enforced changes. Manager Turlough O'Connor remains without Maurice O'Driscoll, whose groin injury will need another couple of weeks, and Tommy Byrne (ankle), while James Coll picked up an ankle injury against Shamrock Rovers on Friday and is out.

As some consolation, O'Connor has top scorer Derek Swan back from suspension and adds both Stephen Caffrey and Shaun Maher to his panel.
