Dolan: we're not thinking about Cup - February 8, 2001

St. Patrick's Athletic v UCD 19:45

St. Patrick's Athletic manager Pat Dolan has issued a 'forget about the Cup' warning to his players ahead of tonight's Stadium of Light clash with UCD.

The same teams meet again on Monday in the League Cup final second leg at Belfield, with the Saints holding a 3-1 advantage from the first leg - but Dolan says: "The only thing on our minds this week has been securing the three points from tonight's game."

The Saints need the points to push them towards Europe - but UCD desperately need to start winning in order to avoid relegation.

Dolan can field his first-choice eleven but has injury worries over squad players Jamie Harris (groin) and Padraig Drew (hammy).

For UCD, Kevin Grogan still hasn't fully recovered from his hamstring pull and is a doubtful starter. Eoin Bennis stands by to replace him in the Students' attack.
