Longford v UCD (19:30)
With Europe next year for Rovers in mind ill be hoping for wins for Drogs and Dundalk as well as a draw in Sligo.
If we don't qualify for Europe next year with our Co efficient it would be real shooting yourself in the foot stuff
UCD need to winning in Longford they need a bit more consistancy to have any belief for the playoffs, still think there is a team in there , need Finner fit though.
Equally Harps need to pick up 3 points in Treaty and push on.

Actually Bray wexford is a big match tonight. A win for bray could split the division in terms of playoffs 1-5. A win would create a 5 point gap from 5th to 6th.
The scoreline could get grisly in Turners Cross - Spain passing a fitness test does help somewhat, but no Tuta, Williams, or Daire McCarthy.
Why are the Bohs fans split in the Jodi?
Also... Last chance for Dundalk to get out of the bottom 2
I think the split is with the traditional bohs supporters and the handlebar moustache vegans. Stewards were afraid it was going to kick off with the traditional supporters throwing beefburgers at the vegans and the vegans retaliating with mc veggie burgers they had smuggled in.
Delighted to see Leo's already off the mark for Athlone!
Kerry are away to Athlone next. Shootout between Gaxha and Kelliher!
Tús maith, leath na hoibre - literally.
Cork and Kerry are scoreless at half time. Kerry missing a few regulars. Doherty with a couple of early chances for Cork. Gleeson hit the crossbar and a later effort to flew over the bar.
Intriguing game in Dalymount. Not a lot of quality expectedly. Bohs the better side but need to stitch good passages of play together. Soft goal for Dundalk to conceded with no pressure on at all and a tap in that needed a bit of s finish and was taken. Dundalk goal, keeper was unsighted but still a daisycutter between the legs with no great power on it, very soft with defending poor also. Bohs shot off the post was well worked but no closing it down or defenders to get bodies in the way. All in all 1-1 is the better scoreline for Dundalk and we will need to be better 2nd half to get even a point. Big 45mins ahead that could change the season and how to target the remainers of the season - actively really chasing sides ahead or play it very conservatively to try and kee Drogheda at arms length but thats a risk strategy when you see how they can pick up results. We could really do with a big half from Waterford too. Go 7 pints off top and theres a very outside chance pushing at the 2 above but more importantly put that 6 points ahaed of 4th.
Still dont get thoe long looping frees and corners that should be bread and butter for any half decent keeper, only reason I can think for not whipping in at pace is the risk of hitting it short and open to the break.
Cork had been turning up the pressure after the break. Charlie Lyons with their goal.
Two great results in the Premier tonight!
For a split second I thought Eoin Kenny had written himself in to the legendary moment book with a last Dundalk chance that looked heading in to the top corner. Felt strangely like a must win game. Couldnt lose either but the different between a credible draw or not was Drogs result. That is 8th done and dusted now imo. Its all about keeping the noses ahead of DUFC and go in to a play-off in some sort of from and confidence. All if and buts but if we had been as effectively bad earlier in the season rather than just bad we'd be a wedge ahead of Bohs at minimum who are awful too.
Hope kills but a single reversal of 1 weekends results and yer 1 or 2 points behind Pats and Bohs, and likewise swaping spots with Drogs, GD aside. Its still a lot tighter than it should be for some.

Ronan Teahan was sent off after picking up a second yellow. Barry Coffey with Cork's second. Daire McCarthy rumoured to be leaving.
A draw between sligo and Galway tommorow will see Rovers drop into the bottom half. Still probably the best result for us long term though. Bottom half of the league after almost 3 quarters of the season gone....I'd say you could have got good odds on that.
Terrible result for Waterford obviously.Originally Posted by Buckett
Two horse race for the title. Four way battle for third place.
? like it! Truth is a bit more boring, older heads have moved to “a” section, younger lads and the nbb heads in f and g.
I think it adds a bit, makes the stand a bit noisier anyhow.
The return of Lee Lynch was the catalyst for a much improved Treaty performance. He was at the heart of everything we did and we were faster and more positive and purposeful than we've been all season.
Harps not up to much - I thought we deserved the points.
Deserved three points for Treaty tonight, the downside being that they didn't score more.
