FINN HARPS
Finn Harps hosts Wexford on Monday night at Finn Park with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread (kick-off is at 7.45pm).
Harps must win their final two games of the season - both at home - against Wexford and Treaty United next week.
And two wins might not even be enough should fifth-placed Bray Wanderers win away to Cobh Ramblers. A draw might even be enough for the Seagulls given their far superior goal difference of +10 compared to Harps’ -1.
But after a battling 2-2 draw away to Bray on Friday night, Murphy will be proud of his side regardless.
“To be still there or thereabouts with two games to go is incredible,” he said.
“I don’t think anybody would have thought Finn Harps would have taken it to the last week of the season.
“To get to where we are is brilliant for us but we have to do the job on Monday night now to take it to the last night of the season.”
WEXFORD
Having secured their place in the playoffs already, Wexford are likely to ring the changes ahead of their penultimate game of the league season.
And boss James Leddy admitted as much after Wexford thumped Kerry 4-0 at Ferrycarrig Park on Friday with goals from Ethan Boyle, Cian Curtis, Sean McHale and Divin Isamala.
The Slaneysiders are only playing for positions in the table though are likely to finish fourth.
“I’ll mix it up on Monday,” Keddy told Beat 102 103. “We’ve achieved our objective of getting into the playoffs so I will be playing a different team on Monday.
“The same will go for Friday away to Cork, I’ll mix it up.”
Referee: Daryl Carolan.
