Cobh Ramblers and Finn Harps go head-to-head at St Colman’s Park in tonight’s eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash, kick-off 7.45pm.

Conor Meade, Alan Kearney, Mickey O’Shea and Shane Guthrie are out injured for Ramblers, while John Meade is suspended after his red card last weekend.

Cobh boss Stephen Henderson said: “We are playing really well and will go into this match determined to take maximum points.

"If we want to stay in this division we must start winning. The Finn Harps match is another opportunity to turn good performances into winning results."

Harps boss Paul Hegarty said: "I would like to build on the two draws we've got in the last two games and we're going to Cobh and will be looking for a result.

“We'll be going there in a positive frame of mind and there were positives to be taken from Friday's game (against Shamrock Rovers). Let's build on that."

Hegarty must plan without Jonathan Minnock (Achilles) and Aaron Labonte who has a knee injury.

James Gallagher (hip) and Cornelius Gallagher (ligament) are also ruled out and will not travel to Cork.

However, Gary Beckett has resumed full training and could feature in the squad in the upcoming three games this week.
