Strangely enough, Longford haven't confirmed the Dundalk fixture, hope it goes ahead. Handy one for me.

Pats playing Athlone away on Saturday.
Is this actually true or just speculation?
The only issue I see with it is that I presume trialists can't play.
If the Leinster clubs have agreed to this I don't see why others didn't and just resurrect the League Cup with the group stage format it had in the 90s. I don't really see much benefit for the Non-League clubs though to be honest - if they're mid-season do they really want three matches against LoI opposition?
That was direct from the League Forum yeah
St Pats playing Minnesota United on 20th of March in Minnesota…..
I wonder how that friendly came about, I'm assuming some connections somewhere on Kelleher's end in the States?
Decent day out if you can afford it, I was at couple of Orlando City games while over there on holidays MLS games are a good experience apart from the beer prices
Looking forward to watching Harps for the first time in 2024 on Sunday vs Derry. Not expecting much considering its a friendly and the fact that is both Derry we are playing and the massive difference in resources they have compared to Harps. But it will be good to get to watch live football again after about 3 months
10 trialists involved in the Dundalk/Shels game this afternoon,5 on each team…..
Looks like Andy Spain will be Kerry's captain for 2024, after receiving the armband for tonight's encounter, and a team named along expected lines.
6 starters from Kerry's last league game away to Cobh. 3 debuts. The first choice keeper comes back in.
All three MSC ties remain scoreless thus far.
41 | Substitution for Kerry. Andy Spain makes way for Ethan Kos after a collision with Falvey.
HT | Level at the break.
Kerry FC 0-0 Avondale United
Kerry's new captain off injured on his debut. Scoreless at half-time.
70 minutes in, and still Midleton remain the only team to score in the southern province tonight.
Until Daniel Okwute gets Kerry's season up and running at Mounthawk Park - I believe that's his first senior goal for the Kingdom.
77 | Daniel Okwute puts us ahead!
Kerry FC 1-0 Avondale United
I think it is his first senior goal alright.
Treaty get two goals in quick succession at Carrigaline, but, rather surprisingly, extra-time looks on the cards at the RSC.
1-0 win for Kerry.
Quarter Final ties to be played before week ending 4th February 2024:
Kerry v Cobh Ramblers or College Corinthians
Cobh will be a good test in 3 weeks time, a fortnight before Kerry travel to Turner's Cross to take on Cork City.
Banana-skin negotiated, Kerry await the winners of tomorrow's tie between Cobh and College Corinthians, while Treaty will meet Midleton next month.
Ben McCormack and Cameron Cresswell ease Blue nerves in extra-time, and a 2-0 win will probably see them host Cork at the start of February.

I see Leo Gaxha starts for Galway in their first friendly today, so he could certainly do with a big performance to put down a marker, even if both sides are doing the standard fielding of multiple trialists.
MSC Updates: Cobh 4-2 winners, Ringmahon 9-0 winners and Rockmount 3-0 away winners. Cork v Wilton scoreless and gone into extra time.
Cork playing a full Academy team,Clancy getting a look at what he has coming through...
1-0 win for Pats in Athlone. Tommy Lonergan stuck another 50k on his fee with an absolute belter of a free kick.
