Manager Roddy Collins has a major injury concern with his captain Aidan Collins, who picked up a knee injury in last weekend’s 3-0 win against Mervue Utd (see this week’s Westmeath Independent for match report and reaction). Conor McMahon would appear the most likely replacement for Collins after recovering from an illness that kept him out of the Mervue game. The former Shelbourne defender Sean Byrne has also been added to Roddy Collins’ squad and should be part of the squad for Friday but forward Ian Sweeney remains a major doubt with ankle ligament trouble.
