Galway United V Home Farm (St Mel's Park, Athlone 8.0) BOTH sides will make changes from the teams that drew one all with each other on Sunday. United have little choice in the matter as Sean O'Neill picked up an ankle injury in that game and, although the knock is not nearly as bad as was initially expected, it is too swollen for him to appear for the holders this evening. Brendan O'Connor, who came off the bench for O'Neill, and Noel Mernagh are the two players in contention for the starting role.
Dermot Keely has no injury worries but will change things around after a performance on Sunday which he felt lacked hunger. "Some players here seem to think they just have to put the shirt on and get out there, but that's not acceptable. After that I could change 10 of them but that would be stupid, so I'll look at it and see what I can change around," he says.
