Shamrock Rovers v Cork City, 7.45pm
27th May
Derry City v Dundalk, 7.45pm
Wexford Youths v Galway, 8pm
Seems strange (and very incovenient for me) that we'd have our game on the Tuesday; Monday is a bank holiday in the north.
Shams vs City has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Fair play to them for leaving it so late to call it off.
Concerns about surface water on the pitch at the CCS. Not raining at the moment so it should dry out but kick off is delayed as they try and remove the water.
Game goes ahead.
Noel Haverty sent off for punching the ball clear after a Bohs player had rounded the keeper. Stupidity. Though the peno was saved tbf!
1-0 Bohs at HT. Corcoran on 43 mins.
Town down to 9 men now. Kevin O'Connor second yellow. Still 1-0 Bohs, half an hour left.
2-0 Bohs. Corcoran again. Into injury time now.
Edit: actually Daniel Byrne not Corcoran. Not that anyone cares apart from him and his mammy
Waterlogged pitches in May.... when is the FAI going to insist on nice artificial pitches all round?
I think Tallaght would have been OK if the Ireland Under 19s weren't on it all week
Dundalk make 11 changes to the team that beat Sligo 3-0.
Current score Derry 0 - Dundalk 2
Finished 2-1 to Dundalk. Derry came back in the game in the second half.
1 all in Wexford v Galway after Extra time
Would be a nice draw for a trip to the sunny south east, but of course home draw for a cup semi would be preferable
