Premier division
Bray Wndrs v Kilkenny City (4.0) Bray have a full squad for the visit of Kilkenny with Maurice Farrell ('flu) and Wesley Charles (calf strain) expected to be available and Dave Campbell returning from suspension.
City manager Billy Walsh will be making changes from a team selection that was forced upon him on Tuesday night and he is likely to have Gordon Johnson, Graham O'Hanlon and Damien Brennan back from suspension.

St Patrick's Ath v Finn Harps (7.45) Packie Lynch is back in the reckoning for first team action. However, like Colm Foley, he is unlikely to play due to lack of match fitness.
Harps have problems of their own with Neil Fitzhenry (hamstring) and Tom Mohan (groin) injured, but Trevor Scanlon and Dom Tierney are likely to retain their places. However, good news for the team is striker James Marrow is about to start training again.

FAI Cup (semi-final)
Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers (8.05, live on Network 2)
Bohemians will be missing Simon Webb (suspended) and Paul Byrne (cup-tied) and manager Roddy Collins is considering reverting to the 35-2 formation employed so successfully when they put six past Rovers in January. That would mean Mark Rutherford and Dave Morrison playing as wing backs and Trevor Molloy playing behind Alex Nesovic and Glen Crowe up front.
Tony Grant (hamstring), Pat Deans and Billy Woods (both ankle) are minor doubts for Rovers but are expected to pass fitness tests and will probably figure in some way or other.
Route to semi-final: Bohemians: Second round: Beat Drogheda United 2-0 at home; Third round: Beat Bray Wanderers 2-1 at home; Quarter-finals: Beat Kilkenny City 7-2 away. Rovers: Second round: Beat Dublin Bus 3-0 at home; Third round: Beat Finn Harps 3-0 away; Quarter-finals: beat Shelbourne 3-0 at home (Tolka Park) after one all draw away.
Betting: Home: 4/6, Draw: 9/4, Away: 7/2.
Referee: P McKeon (Dublin).
