Two of the top sides in the country meet tomorrow night at the Brandywell, however it will be the First Division and not the Premier Division for both sides this year.

More than enough column inches have been devoted to the off the field travails of both clubs, but the focus will switch to on the field affairs come tomorrow night.

Cork City Foras Co-Op have been scrambling to assemble a panel since they were given the late go ahead to participate in the First Division.  Indeed a panel of thirteen players will travel to Brandywell with the hope of getting the fledging club off to a flyer.

Tommy Dunne will be in charge and City fans will also be familiar with players such as Greg O'Halloran in the opposition line up tomorrow night.  However it will be very much work in progress for the visiotrs who will be looking to get off to a solid defeat.

There will be plenty of new faces in the home side as well as Stephen Kenny had to rebuild his panel following the wholesale departures in late 2009.  The side had a mixed pre-season but the major issues surround injuries picked up.  Stephen Parkhouse and Patrick McEleney will definately miss out and there are injury concerns surrounding a few other players.
