WE’RE LIVE ON a lovely evening here at Finn Park as Finn Harps welcome Bohemians in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division.
FULL-TIME – FINN HARPS 0-0 BOHEMIANS
Almost a disaster for Harps. Ryan Curran had a free on the edge of the Bohemians penalty area with men in the area, Ryan Curran fluffed the kick and the visitors broke and Ciaran Coll was adjudged to have fouled Roberto Lopes inside the area. The penalty was taken by Anto Murphy, who tried to shimmy in his run-up but Ciaran Gallagher went to his right to save. FH 0-0 BFC
90+5 SAVED BY CIARAN GALLAGHER FROM ANTO MURPHY
90+3 PENALTY FOR BOHS
89 mins – A free from Jake Kelly from the edge of the penalty area smashes off the Finn Harps wall. FH 0-0 BFC
85 mins – Packie Mailey gets in around the back to head a free from Tony McNamee but it’s saved easily by Dean Delany. FH 0-0 BFC
81 mins – Kevin McHugh works an angle for himself to shoot but it’s well saved by Dean Delany. FH 0-0 BFC
78 mins – The lastest update is that there is no update. Kevin McHugh is on for Hanlon. FH 0-0 BFC
63 mins – Good effort by Bohemians. Roberto Lopes has a spectacular diving header at the Town End from a Paddy Kavanagh cross. It was well over but a decent enough opportunity in the circumstances. FH 0-0 BFC
56 minutes – A centre from Roberto Lopes is very dangerous just six yards from goal and Packie Mailey had his wits about him to clear. FH 0-0 BFC
53 mins – A weak Michael Funston header after a cross from the right from Adam Hanlon is easily gathered. It’s Harps first effort on target and Bohs have had just the one as well. FH 0-0 BFC
46 mins – Second half about to start. No changes for Harps. Except the sun has gone down. For Bohemians, it’s Jake Kelly on for Ayman-Ben Mohamed. FH 0-0 BFC
HALF-TIME – FINN HARPS 0-0 BOHEMIANS
[adrotate group=”50″]45+1 mins – Pullback from Ryan Curran and Damien McNulty, from the edge of the area, side-foots well wide. FH 0-0 BFC
45 mins – There will be two minutes of stoppage time
40 mins – Rather unusual penalty appeal from Harps. Paddy Kavanagh was on all fours on the ground in a busy penalty area and the ball may or may not have rebounded off his arm. He didn’t know too much about it. FH 0-0 BFC
37 mins – Gareth Harkin tried to continue but couldn’t shake off the knock from earlier and is replaced by Michael Funston. FH 0-0 BFC
29 mins – Gareth Harkin hit with a tackle that was hard but deemed fair by match referee Dave McKeown. FH 0-0 BFC
23 mins – Bit better from the home side, who see Ryan Curran get into the decent position but flagged for offside in a crowded penalty area just as he’s about the pull the trigger. FH 0-0 BFC
[adrotate group=”38″]19 mins – Harps’ start has been flat
17 mins – Massive let-off for Harps. A simple ball down the right and Paddy Kavanagh streaked away and Ciaran Gallagher charged from his goal but it was Kavanagh who got the touch. It wasn’t strong enough though and as it trundled towards goal – albeit just off target – Keith Cowan got back to tidy up. FH 0-0 BFC
15 mins – First real opening at either end as Ayman-Ben Mohamed gets past Damien McNulty on the left and crosses. It’s awkward for Ciaran Gallagher, who puts it behind for a corner. From the kick, there’s a foul on Packie Mailey. FH 0-0 BFC
12 mins – Ryan Curran thus far has cut an isolated figure up front on his own for Finn Harps. FH 0-0 BFC
9 mins – Very fast paced start but it hasn’t settled. This is the last game of the first third of the season, matchday 13. FH 0-0 BFC
And we’re off. Can’t see much in the sun. But we’re off.
Ciaran Gallagher and Barry Molloy are in the starting line-up for a home fixture for the firs time since the 2-1 win over Derry City in March.
There’s one change from last weekend, where Harps drew 1-1 at Wexford Youths. Molloy is in for Liam Flatley.
