Club favourite Alan Murphy could be in line to make his long awaited return, some 16 months after his most recent start in the maroon.

Shaun Kelly is a serious doubt for tomorrow's match against UCD, as he attempts to recover from illness.

Team captain Paul Sinnott is extremely upbeat about the fixture.

"I'm really looking forward to the match and along with the rest of the team, we will be hoping to perform very well on the night".

United performed very well last week against Dundalk, a team tipped by Sean Connor to be there or thereabouts come season's end, but Galway will be hoping their efforts are rewarded this time out.

UCD will be looking to get back on track after a 2-0 loss in Belfied Bowl to newly promoted Derry City last Friday. They managed to get the season off to a winning start, defeating Drogheda United in Louth by a single goal, late in the game.

Rob Rogers will officiate the match which kicks off at 7.45pm tomorrow night.
