Press Release
Football Association of Ireland
September 5th, 2008
Two more matches off due to poor weather conditions
Cork City v Derry City and Kildare County v Limerick 37 have both been postponed due to waterlogged pitches.
This brings to five the number of eircom League of Ireland matches to have been postponed.
Matches postponed are as follows:
Wexford Youths v Longford Town
Shelbourne v Waterford United
St. Patrick’s Athletic v Galway United
Cork City v Derry City
Kildare County v Limerick 37
New dates for the fixtures will be announced in due course.
ENDS
Rain stopped in Dublin.
Still going ahead here at present. Our Chairman and Secretary did an inspection at approx 1pm and it was ok. It is raining but not that heavily and at the moment the game is going ahead. Will update the situation at about 4pm.
Drogs game off too it seems.
Nightmare for Derry going all the way down there for the match to be called off
Nightmare for Cork too with their cashflow situation.
Magicme, shouldn't there be a qualified ref present for a formal inspection?
Local referee at United Park undecided , going to give it another half hour or so before making a decision. Rain has just eased now. I spoke to the groundsman at lunchtime and he thinks the pitch is very playable , only concern would be a heavy downpour around 6-7pm could scupper it. Further update as soon as I know.
http://www.droghedaunited.ie/ says it's off.Quote:

Yup but you only need to call a formal inspection if you think it is needed. We have spoken with Michael Hayes and told him that we will keep an eye on the situation and have an inspection if needed but at present all is fine.Quote:

We could have a double header!
Hopefully Tg4 can get themselves to Sligo (or Harps...)
Sun still shining in Ballybofey, no doubts about the Harps game. At the minute, no live game on TV tonight and only two games for MNS on Monday.

Could Mons -v- Fingal be the first 1st division game to be shown on MNS????
Still going ahead here. Chairman says there is no water on the pitch at all so getting a ref to inspect it would be a waste of time.
Really heavy rain heading your way. Weather getting worse hereQuote:

Any chance of our game being re-fixed as quickly as Limerick's was?Quote:
