Midweek First Division Games 31st July 1st Aug

Tuesday, 31st July

Kilkenny v Shels
The Black Cats are yet to record a home win this season, hammered by Monaghan last time out. Shels come into this game after beating Dundalk so the form card couldn’t be more different. Away Win.
Price Guide: 11/5 Kilkenny City 1/1 Shelbourne 11/5 Draw 19.45

Match Result: Kilkenny 2-5 Shelbourne


Dundalk v Athlone Town
Dundalk have hit a wobble, the fact the Cobh only drew on the weekend means they held onto top spot, just. What might get them back on the road is the opposition, Athlone have not won a game in their last 7 attempts, and the last win was way back at the start of June. Home Win
Price Guide: 1/2 Dundalk 5/1 Athlone Town 12/5 Draw 19.45

Match Result: Dundalk 3-0 Athlone

Wexford v Limerick
Wexford recorded only their second away win ever up in Lissywollen on the weekend; they should take a lot of confidence from that. If we take Athlone as the yardstick then you have to say Limerick should win here as they stuck 4 past Athlone the week before, but Wexford have only ever been beaten by the odd goal at home. I’d be backing Limerick alright but I’d want odds against.
Price Guide: 11/5 Wexford Youths 10/11 Limerick 37 5/2 Draw 20.00

Match Result: Wexford 1-1 Limerick (match abandoned after 76 mins due to floodlight failure)

Finn Harps v Monaghan
Harps extended their unbeaten run to 9 games against Cobh on Saturday and should add another 3 points in the quest for promotion on Tuesday night against a Monaghan team that has failed to beat a team higher in the league all year. Home Win.
Price Guide: 8/15 Finn Harps 9/2 Monaghan Utd 5/2 Draw 20.00

Match Result: Finn Harps 3-0 Monaghan

Wednesday, 1st Aug

Kildare County v Cobh
Kildare haven’t managed a win in 5 games and are up against it with a Cobh team buoyed by hitting the dizzy highest of being joint table toppers. Cobh will have the comfort of knowing the Dundalk result & should Dundalk slip up on Thursday then have your house on Cobh on Wednesday. Away Win
Price Guide: 4/1 Kildare County 8/13 Cobh Ramblers 9/4 Draw 20.00

Match Result: Kildare 1-2 Cobh
