WEXFORD YOUTHS
Wexford Youths are back in action in Ferrycarrig Park for the first time since the mid season break. Kick off against Cobh Ramblers is set for 20.00.
Shane Keegan's men have secured four points in their last two home games with the amateur club performing well above expectations sitting in fifth place in the First Division table. A position that has them just nine points off the league's leaders Shelbourne.
Wexford head into this game knowing that they will be unable to call on the services of Christopher Browne after he was dismissed against Shelbourne last Friday night.
COBH RAMBLERS
Cobh are this seasons SSE Airtricity League basement side although Martin Cambridge's men do head into this game on the back of their first league victory of the season. The young Cork side thumped Shamrock Rovers B three nil on the last Saturday of June.
With team news unavailable for the County Cork side one can only begin to speculate that it is unlikely that any house hold names have been added to the Ramblers squad over the past week.
The team that has only managed to secure seven points so far this season does head into this game knowing that they will not be plagued by any suspension difficulties.
Referee: Adriano Reale
