New date set for postponed Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk League of Ireland opener

The rescheduled fixture will take place on Monday, 23 February at 8pm.

LAST UPDATE | 6 Feb

THE POSTPONED LEAGUE of Ireland fixture between Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk has been rescheduled for Monday, 23 February.

A statement from the League of Ireland this evening reads that the game will get underway at 8pm in Tallaght Stadium, after this evening’s initial fixture was postponed following a pitch inspection.

The full statement reads:

“The League of Ireland can confirm that Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division, originally scheduled to take place today at Tallaght Stadium, has been rescheduled for Monday, 23 February at 8pm.” 

Rovers were due to face Dundalk at Tallaght Stadium [KO:8pm] as part of the league’s opening round of fixtures tonight, but the pitch was deemed unplayable on Friday morning following the heavy rain that has sluiced down upon Dublin in recent days. 

The Tallaght clash was slated to be the live game on Virgin Media Television, with the broadcaster now set to show Derry City vs Sligo Rovers live instead.
