Stephen Henderson looks set to have a full squad to pick from for this match.
Center midfielder Chris McCarthy is so central to his team that he has earned the nickname 'Kaka' due to his importance. The 21 year old captain has five goals to date, and he will be keen on adding to that total next time out.
Cobh have a loss, three wins, and a draw in their last five matches. They won 2-0 at home to Cabinteely before winning 0-1 away at UCD. They followed that up with a 0-0 home draw against Waterford before winning 1-0 there over Wexford. Last week, they lost 2-1 away to Longford Town.

Defenders:Fleming, O'Riordan, McSweeney, McNamara
Midfielders:Coleman, Mann, Abbott, McCarthy, Mylod

Owen Heary has suspensions to midfielders Jamie O'Brien and David O'Leary to deal with. Center back Aidan Collins came off early last time out with injury, so he looks a big doubt for this match.
Center back Derek Prendergast is a one of a kind player that has become essential to Shelbourne. The defender is not only important at keeping teams out, but he is also very important at scoring goals. He leads the team with five right now, and he will be huge in both boxes as this match goes on.
Shelbourne have two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches. They won 2-1 at home over Atholone Town before losing 1-0 away to Wexford and 1-4 at home to Cabinteely. They then drew 0-0 at home to Longford Town before winning away 1-2 last weekend against UCD.
