All roads lead along the N11 for the second time this season on Friday as Cabinteely host Bray Wanderers at Stradbrook for the ‘East Coast Derby’.
MANAGEMENT TEAM VIEW
Like any derby, Cabinteely Assistant Manager/ First team coach Eddie Gormley is expecting a battle.
”It is going to be another tough game. Bray are a very good side. They are doing well in the league. Obviously we’ve had a little blip. But we will be working hard to try and get a result.”
With 500 spectators allowed into Stradbrook, Gormley believes the fans will add to the derby atmosphere.
“It will be nice to have a bit of atmosphere in the ground. And with it being a derby, there should be a good crowd. Players will react differently to that, not having a crowd at games for a while now. We’ve had a good week of training. So, we’ll give it a shot and see what happens.”
TEAM NEWS
Cabo’s record appearance holder Kevin Knight returns from suspension. Defender Andy O’Brien has departed the club.
REFEREE/OFFICIALS
Mark Moynihan will take charge of the fixture with David Berry and Philip Harrison being the assistants. The fourth official is Alan Carey.
