***LEAGUE OF IRELAND BETS***
A good weekend last week, a Medium and a Small winning with a Small losing! Myself, Aidan, Graeme and Alan have discussed and are happy with the below! 2 Mediums and a Small.

---

Bohemians -v- Cork Friday 7.45pm
Fairly straightforward pick here. Cork seem a class above the rest this season and have won their first 8 games scoring 17 goals and only conceding 4, beating Champions Dundalk in this run. With Maguire firing on all cylinders up top it should be a routine win for Cork here.
Bohs on the other hand have had a very hit and miss start. They are currently struggling with 5 injuries of players who would all be in the starting 11 & this has really shown in recent games. (Akinade, Corcoran, Doyle , Morris & Wearen) Bohs were beaten 2-0 by Sligo last week , while they were well on top of sligo during a large part the game, Bohs just could not score as they have no firepower up top without Corcoran & Akinade. There are rumours Corcoran may feature in some of the match tomorrow but he will not be fully fit & I'm not sure Bohs will risk him. Even if he plays it shouldn't affect the result here.
Overall Cork should be way to strong for Bohs & with Bohs injuries it will be hard to see how Bohs wil threaten Corks defence at all. Should be a 2 or 3 nil here

Cork -1.25 (GENERAL) @ 1.85 MEDIUM STAKE

---

Waterford -v- Athlone Friday 7.45pm
Waterford went clear at the top of the First Division with a win over Cobh ramblers last weekend, while Athlone were on the end of another heavy defeat.
The opening day shock result for Athlone is well and truly behind Waterford who are unbeaten since and boast a 100% record at home. Since Athlones opening two victories they been poor, and only picked up 1 pt since those wins.
Waterford are without 2/3 players however, the squad is strong enough for the fringe players to come in and keep a strong 11 on the field. Also, these players will be out to impress to try keep their places in the team.
This should be a straight forward and comprehensive home win to keep Waterford at the top of the table.

Waterford -1.75 (GENERAL) @ 1.75 MEDIUM STAKE

---

Dundalk -v- Bray Friday 7.45pm
2nd -v- 3rd here but in reality there is big gulf in class. Stephen Kennys side sit 6 points behind leaders Cork and will not want this stretching anymore. Both teams come into the back of this with 2 wins, but Brays inconsistent defence should see them conceding a few against his strong Dundalk side with Bray conceding an average of 1.75 goals a game this season. Dundalks defence should hamper Brays strong attack this season. In reality this should be a game that Dundalk win, Bray have been decent this season hence why we go small with this bet.

Dundalk -1.25 (GENERAL) @ 1.90 SMALL STAKE

Not a good set of bets, just one Medium win with Cork... Minefield this season!

Not a great weekend last week, a Medium winning with a Medium and Small losing! Myself, Aidan, Graeme and Alan have discussed and are happy with the below! 2 Mediums, we had mulled over Cork -1 and Ath/Wex Over 2.5 Goals also.

---

Limerick -v- Galway Friday 7.45pm

Limerick had a super win last week against Drogheda Utd, 3-0, and In truth it could off been 6 or 7 such was the amount of chances they created. With the win they moved up into the top 4 of the division, and will be looking to push on again, especially at home.
Galway, sit at the bottom of the table and are still winless this season. They have struggled in games this season and with every week that passes without a win confidence gets knocked.
Both had EA Cup fixtures on Monday, Limerick made a host of changes and rested most of the starting 11. Galway played a pretty strong side in their game v Derry and also went to extra time. Limerick will be fresher and We fancy Limerick to win this game, and possibly by 2+ goals.
Galway United boss Keegan also has some injury headaches ahead of the trip to the Mid-West with Maurice Nugent, Declan Sharkey and Jesse Devers all out through injury while there are doubts over the availability of Padraic Cunningham and Paul Sinnott who both face late fitness tests.

Limerick -0.75 AH (GENERAL) @ 1.80 MEDIUM STAKE

---

Finn Harps -v- Drogheda Friday 8pm

Harps come into this in an injury crisis, they had a long list of injuries during the week however lost another 3 players who were all taken away by ambulance against Sligo on Monday. To quote Horgan ''We have three more Packie Mailey, Harry Doherty and B.J. Banda definitely out after the injuries they picked up on Monday night. Danny Morrissey, Ciaran O’Connor and Jonny Bonner are all still under treatment for hamstring injuries.then we have doubts over Paddy McCourt, Barry Molloy, Caolan McAleer, Eddie Dsane, Ciaran Coll and Gareth Harkin.''
Promoted side Drogs are a bit hit or miss this year but thats to be expected with a young side. They've put in good performances against both Cork and Dundalk on one hands but got hammered out the gate against a rejuvenated Limerick last week. They welcome back experienced pair Gavin Brennan and Marc Griffin this week and bar missing two young lads on Ireland U18 duty and Killian Brennan they are full strength.
With Harps injury crisis and a Drogheda side travelling with a point to prove and two experienced lads back we expect Drogs to pick up at least a point here.

Drogheda +0.25 (GENERAL) @ 1.95 MEDIUM STAKE

Just to clarify, we beat Derry 2-0 Monday night and didn't go to extra time. We also started 6 of our regular first team and five younger/second choice. Confidence is certainly higher in the team and we've been the better team in a number of our games, a lack of a killer instinct has been our problem. That's not to say Limerick may not cover the handicap but we are going there looking for a win.

Cheers Ben, wasn't me doing the writeups this week.

Like the look of a goal in each half in St. Pats v Cork at 8/11 on PP.

A Medium win and a Medium lost last weekend! Myself, Aidan, Graeme and Alan have discussed and are happy with the below! A Large and a Small.

Galway -v- Dundalk Friday 7.45pm
Galway have been woeful so far this season - with no wins, just five points collected and currently sitting at the foot of the table. They sneaked a draw with Limerick in the last 5 minutes last week after a piledriver from 30 yards. Scoring has been an issue for the Connacht men with just 6 goals all season in the league. Ronan Murray has scored 3 of those so stop him and you tend to stop Galway. The Tribesemen are at 100% for the clash with no suspensions as well as a clean bill of health, which will leave Keegan with plenty of options come Friday night.
Dundalk were off to a slow start but beat Bohs 2-0 at home last week and could have been 4 or 5 going by the match reports. It's early in the season but you have to feel that Dundalk need to go on a big winning streak just to keep pressure on Cork. No new injury worries for the lilywhites here and we expect them to easily pick up all three points.

Dundalk -1 AH (GENERAL) @ 1.75 LARGE STAKE

---

Wexford -v- Cabinteely Friday 8pm
Bottom placed Wexford host somewhat a surprise package this season Cabinteely. Wexford have yet to win this season with their 3 points in 9 games coming from draws. Wexford have failed to score in 5 of their 9 games this season, 4 of the 5 being at home. Wexfords home form this season reads an opening day 1-1 draw followed by 4 losses. Wexford lost a good few players late last season, two more fringe players departed this week and there has also been a player suspended by the club recently so the mood in Ferrycarrig Park seems to be at an all time low.
After Cabinteelys opening two losses in the League, they've gone on to win 3, draw 3 and lose just once. They were top of the League for a period to everyone's surprise. They have a mix of experienced players and manager with a lot of younger hungry players!

Cabinteely Draw No Bet (GENERAL) @ 5/6 SMALL STAKE

Took the words out of my mouth Gavin. I added Rovers and Limerick btts to your two as an Acca on PaddyPower @5.39.

Gavin "shels"

Very big drift on Dundalk pregame, went off 8/11 for the win then concede in the 92nd min... Lost for words to be honest from a betting point of view.

Refund on Cabo.

A bad weekend last weekend with Galway beating champions Dundalk to kill our large staked bet! Myself, Aidan, Graeme and Alan have discussed and are happy with the below! A Medium and a Small. We also debated a bet on Waterford win, Limerick win (due to Sligo fielding a full team mid week in the Cup) and Cobh handicap.

Cork -v- Finn Harps Friday 7.45pm
Pretty straight forward here. Cork look unstoppable at the moment and are scoring for fun. They have a 100% record in the league with 11 wins, scoring 28 goals and only conceding 5.
Harps on the other hand are really struggling to find the net in their last few games. They have only scored in 1 of their last 5 games. Harps had a few decent results at the start of the league but are falling back into the relegation dog fight where they should be. Harps will be on of the teams who get relegated this season and their recent form has shown this, losing to Sligo, Drogs & Bohs in their last 3 games, all teams who are battling relegation
This tie is a complete miss match here and if Cork are up for this game and want to give harps a beating it could easily end 4-0+ if Cork want it too.

Cork -2 AH (GENERAL) @ 1.75 MEDIUM STAKE

Bray -v- St. Pats Friday 7.45pm

Dundalk vs Sligo Rovers - Asian Handicap 1.0,1.5 - 2.1 Sligo

I fancy Sligo to give Dundalk a very tough game on Friday. They are starting to hit form up front with Sadlier,Ayuanga & Cretaro in good form. They are also not conceding too many goals conceding 4 goals in there last 6 games. While Dundalk will be without Gannon & Gartland who has a back injury. O'Donnell too may be a doubt.

Limerick vs Derry - Asian Handicap 0.0.0.5. - 1.925. Derry

Limerick are struggling to score many goals. They are too reliant on Ogbene & Tosi while a good finisher is too slow.
Derry are unbeaten in 5 games & are starting to improve. The Market's Field pitch should suit there style of play as well. Derry are creating plenty of chances as well & have been very unlucky in certain games.

dinneenp

Cork City away to Galway, yet another win for City? Galway drew with Dundalk recently but surely City will win I'd think.

ShamoBuc

4/9 is not a bad price on City on pp, 4/11 on bet365

I will be on City -1 11/10 and city -1 second half handicap at 13/5

I think Galway will give city a game but eventually the chances city create should be taken, 2 or 3-0 to City would be my guess.

Will also be on a double of city-1 and rovers win(evens)with rovers win btts as a single 11/4

A good weekend last weekend with 2 winners from 2! Myself, Aidan, Graeme and Alan have discussed and are happy with the below bet! A Medium bet. We also debated a bets on Cork -1.25 AH, Bray and Cobh - these may be worth while in play bets.

Wexford -v- Waterford Friday 8pm
Bottom -v- Top in a South East Derby. Wexford have been on a downward spiral since last season when a batch of players moved to New Zealand and this season with supposedly bannings due to some internal incidents. Wexford have managed just 4 points in their 11 games coming from 4 draws. They've managed just 5 goals in 11 games, while conceding 16.

Waterford come into this sitting top of the table. They opened the season with a loss but since then have gone on to win 6 and draw 4. They've managed 15 goals in 11 games, while conceding just 6. Away form isn't great.

Wexford welcome back defender Craig McCabe who missed the trip to UCD through suspension, but Craig Wall will once again miss out with a shoulder injury. Sean Hurley should be ok after hobbling off last week with a leg injury.

Waterford's Kenny Browne, Sander Puri, Ian McLoughlin and Dean O’Halloran are all still ruled out as they recover from injury, while Gary Delaney also looks set to miss out through a leg injury. Patrick McClean is rated 50/50 for the fixture as he recovers from a shoulder injury that he picked up in last Friday’s game against Shelbourne. Jack Lynch, John Martin, Dean Walsh and Owen Wall will be fighting for a place in the starting eleven.

Waterford -1.25 AH (GENERAL) @ 1.95 MEDIUM STAKE
