Obviously the date for that was not confirmed if we had a match that day. Cobh would have had to agree to the switch. I can't see the problem if both teams had no problem switching.

Friday night football at home will be a nice change. Make UCD take time off work/collage and travel when it doesn't suit them like most clubs are doing to us this season

Take time off college?

Have you ever seen a Friday timetable?!

It's very annoying to have games clashing with fundraisers. Really shouldn't happen, although I suppose the club were planning it in advance before the fixtures came out. It's very nice of Cobh to agree to the change (assuming they had a choice)

Your game with Harps has been changed as well. Was due to be on Saturday 24th May, now on Friday 23rd May. The Saturday would clash with the Ireland v Serbia match at Croke Park (kicks off at 7.30pm).

I think we change fixtures in the League too easily. Fancy changing the ramblers v UCD game because a bunch of Students/Former Students fancy a night out. What next FFS. :rolleyes:

My understanding is that the return fixture in UCD is going to be on a Saturday night in return for Cobh changing to a Friday.

I assume clubs do this because they recognise that fund-raising is vital for every club in the league.

I aslo presume that such gestures are reciprocated. Dog eat dog? Hunt in packs, I say.
