Waterford v Bohemians confirmed for the back pitch at the RSC on Sunday 4th at 2.00pm.

Main pitch still having work done, plus there's an athletics event there Saturday.
Anyone travelling down will be able to park in the ground, then it's a short stroll to the right past the back of the old stand and up the steps through the gap in the trees.

Waterford v Drogheda the following weekend looks likely to be at Tramore AFC's Graun Park ground on the Saturday at 2.00pm.

I think FAI view of a "stadium" is altered to suit them look at Mervue and Salthill no seating available in either ground with the same setup as the back pitch in Ferrycarrig for the first division week in week out

You might be right optimus, Blues game has been changed again, now it will take place on Sunday (tomorrow) at 2.00pm at Ozier Park in the city.
Maybe that's why. Ozier is a tidy ground, with the best surface in the city as well. Or used to have, at least, I'm out of touch these days!

The fai will always Change the rules to suit themselves...

cork city beat mervue today 5-4 cracker
city took the lead early in the 1st half with rob lehane getting his 1st on 7 minutes .. stephen kenney doubled the advantage on the 20th and rob lehane got his 2nd on 36 minutes..

3 nil to city at half time and it looked like that was it .. game over.. a change of formation saw a change of luck in the home side and an early free was drilled across the goal for a far post header 1-3
come back was on
mervue in fairness were a changed team in the 2nd half... and quickly grabbed a second and unbelieveably a 3rd
3-3 and mervue olooked like winners

eoghan murphy restores citys advantage on the 75th minute when mervue failed to clear there lines...
then the drama... 90th minute as city left full alan anderson sheperds the ball out for a goal kick the linesman decides that the city player was pulling the jersey of the mervue attacker and instructs the ref to give a spotter ... ref decides ya il rescind the goal kick ive already given and award the penalty ...even the mervue manager was amazed
4-4 90th minute...
city kick off.. press and bang corner to city .. mervue fail to clear again and garry buckley nets the winner .. 4-5 to city and the journey home seemed to take less time than the journey up....
