Shamrock Rvs v Derry Cty (7.30)Rovers will be keen to kill off Derry's revival before it gets into its stride and they will look to Tony Cousins to continue the early season form that has done so much to help them to a solid mid-table position.

Mick Byrne's team will have their work cut out, however, against a City team who carved out a decent result from a poor game last Saturday after a desperately poor start to the season. They still need to find their own scoring touch but with James Keddy the only player still absent (through suspension) and several familiar names (Tony O'Dowd and Tom Mohan) getting back to full fitness they may be difficult to stop.

Gavin Dykes, who is said to be staying at the Brandywell despite interest from his former club Sligo, will again lead the defence while Felix Healy will look to the strength of Peter Hutton and Paul Hegarty to turn the game for the visitors in the centre of the field.
