Alexander hopes for luck of the Irish

Alexander travelled to watch the Eircom League match between Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians, and is hoping to bring some players across to SIncil Bank on trial.

He said: "My main focus was on a striker, but three or four players caught my eye and are certainly worth another look.

"I'm just awaiting developments now. But it's certainly been a profitable trip as there were some very good players on view."
