Shelbourne v Bluebell Utd Quarter-final replay Tolka Park, 7.30

Shelbourne boss Dermot Keely hopes to have Sligo-based defender Mark Hutchison available for this evening's replay against Bluebell United at Tolka Park. The Scot picked up a dead leg in Saturday evening's original tie but club officials were yesterday hopeful that he would be fit.

With Declan Geoghegan expected to be out for another couple of weeks the loss of Hutchison would be a serious blow to the home side although with Cork City due in Tolka on Friday night Keely will be reluctant to take a chance on him.

If Hutchison doesn't make it then Keely is likely to revert to using Richie Baker at right full and Owen Heary on the left of the defence although, with Dave Campbell available again after suspension he does have the option of switching to three centre backs.

Bluebell manager Ken Gibbons is expected to stick closely to the line up that earned the club such a fine result at the weekend.

Right-sided midfielder Mark Fitzpatrick, who hobbled out of Saturday's game with a hamstring problem is Bluebell's main concern and he is expected to miss out. Damian Gill is likely to start.

Meanwhile, UCD midfielder Ciaran Martyn, meanwhile, has been named as the Opel Soccer Writers' Association Player of the Month for February.
