KdjaCL

St Patrick's Athletic will make changes for their eircom League of Ireland Cup match with UCD at Richmond Park, kick-off 3.00pm.

Non regulars such as Ryan Guy, Sean O'Connor and Mark Rooney should come in while Brendan Clarke is expected to take Barry Ryan's place in goal.

Alan Kirby, who did his ankle in during the warm up before Thursday's defeat in Cork, is out injured, while David Mulcahy is a doubt having limped off in that game.

UCD, who reached the final of this competition 2005, will take it seriously as always, especially with a play off for a Setanta Cup place for the eventual winners.

Goalkeeper Darren Quigley may get a chance to prove his credentials having lost his place to Matt Gregg recently.

Ronan Finn, who came off the bench against Bohemians on Friday, should come in from the start.

Kick off at 3 and its family day with ticket prices bordering on free if you bring a kid.

UCD to win.
