Bohemians return to Galway on Monday determined to bounce back, according to manager Keith Long.

Friday’s defeat in the league was “very disappointing”, Long said. “Our performance was nowhere near the standards we have set for ourselves to date and everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong,” he added.

“But we don’t have any time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have a great opportunity to get to a semi-final and we will travel to Galway on Monday looking to bounce back.
