Prediction Challenger - Paul Donnelly

Credit:

Due to a mix up last week, Paul Donnelly was unable to submit his predictions in time for last week's games after he correctly stated that Tony O'Connor scored the winning goal for Bohemians in the 2001 FAI Cup. But we are an understanding lot and have given Paul another chance to prove his skills on a weekend of games that begins tonight.

Paul has been a Drogs supporter for 33 years now since his dad used to bring him to the Lourdes Stadium to watch them play. He used to do ball-boy behind Leo Byrne's goals and his favourite memories would be the FAI cup win against Cork City, the recent League triumph and going further back, the UEFA Cup match against Spurs, although we lost 13-0 on aggregate. Paul's favourite players include Gel Martin, Frank "Dusty" Flanagan and more recently Shane Robinson.

Paul's selections:
Galway United 0 - 2 Derry City
Cork City 1 - 1 Bohemians
Dundalk 2 - 1 Sligo Rovers
St Patrick's Athletic 3 - 0 Bray Wanderers
Shamrock Rovers 1 - 1 Drogheda United
UCD 1 - 1 Sporting Fingal
Shelbourne 2 - 0 Monaghan Utd
Mervue Utd 1 - 0 Limerick
Waterford Utd 3 - 1 Wexford Youths
Kildare County 0 - 2 Athlone Town
Longford Town 1 - 1 Finn Harps
