Bray v Longford
Bray have hit a rich vein of form in the last month and with the acquisition of Pat Kavanagh Bray is a potent force going forward. Longford got only there second win of the season against UCD last week and fully deserved it with Darren Quigley pulling of a string of saves. They should travel to Bray with some confidence considering that Bray have a mini injury crisis this week up front. On balance Bray should win but 0-0 shouldn’t be ruled out.
Guide Price: 5/6 Bray Wanderers 11/4 Longford Town 11/5 Draw
Match Result: Bray 1-3 Longford
Drogheda v Waterford
What happened in San Marin last week? As I watched the game on line I couldn’t believe how complacent they were in the 2nd half. Then on Sunday an understandably sluggish performance against Cork. Waterford can expect a backlash this weekend. Waterford were sloppy in the second half against Sligo last week and will rue the points dropped particularly as Bray pulled away again.
Guide Price: 2/5 Drogheda Utd 6/1 Waterford Utd 11/4 Draw
Match Result: Drogheda 3-0 Waterford
Sligo v Rovers
Sligo on a good run at the moment, tough to beat at home and nicked the points against Waterford on Friday. Faz banging in goals for fun. For my money I thought Rovers shaded it on Monday, although Murphy did have to make a point blank save near the end. Most bookmakers will have Rovers marginally favorite, looks like a draw to me.
Guide Price: 7/4 Sligo Roves 5/4 Shamrock Rovers 11/5 Draw
Match Result: Sligo 2-0 Shams
Pats v Cork
Cracking game, Cork need to win this in my opinion to stay in the title hunt. If Pats are to win the league then they need to win these games. Pats seem to have unsettled their midfield bringing in Keane and are missing Ndo. Cork are in danger of becoming toothless when O Dononvan leaves, O Flynn isn’t doing it this year, although McSweeney looks decent. Tough game to call, sit on the fence here with a draw.
Price Guide: 11/8 St Pats Ath 8/5 Cork City 11/5 Draw
Match Result: Pats 1-1 Cork
UCD v Bohs
UCD going through a bad patch lately, losses to Bray, Roves & Longford recently, always tough to beat at home though. Bohs by their own admission are probably too far back now to win the league, some might say they were never really in it. Bohs 1-0 for me.
Price Guide: 9/5 UCD 6/5 Bohemians 11/5 Draw
Match Result: UCD1-0 Bohs

Derry v Galway
A lot might depend on their midweek exploits but its hard to make a case for Galway to beat Derry in the Brandywell. Ciaran Martyns return to the Derry midfield has brought a goal threat back to the midfield & Morrow has added to a front line that is always capable of scoring.
Derry 2-0.8/13 Derry City 4/1 Galway Otd 9/4 Draw
Match Result: Derry 0-0 Galway
I'll do the first division games later today.
