LAST UPDATE | 20 Oct 2023
THE PREMIER DIVISION clash between Shamrock Rovers and Drogheda United that was due to take place at Tallaght Stadium tonight has been pushed back 48 hours due to the ongoing Orange Weather Warning.
The crucial fixture, with the Hoops closing in on a fourth title in a row, was postponed following a pitch inspection earlier this afternoon and the FAI has confirmed that it will now take place at 8pm on Sunday.
This has had a knock on effect as Rovers’ away game with Cork City on Monday, 23 October will now be played a week later with kick-off time to be confirmed.
Earlier on Friday, the clash between UCD and Cork was also postponed due to the heavy rainfall, and that too has been able to be re-fixed for this Sunday with a 3pm kick-off.
Bohemians’ most recent update just after 4pm was that they “fully expect” their game with St Patrick’s Athletic to go ahead at Dalymount Park. Sligo Rovers will host Dundalk at the Showground while Derry City can confirm European qualification at home to Shelbourne.
Elsewhere, Bray Wanderers have confirmed that the pitch at the Carlisle Grounds passed an inspection held at 1.30pm ahead of their First Division meeting with Finn Harps tonight. The pitch will continue to be monitored throughout the day.
