LAST UPDATE | 3 hrs ago
SHAMROCK ROVERS’ FIRST game of their League of Ireland Premier Division title defence has been postponed.
Rovers were due to face Dundalk at Tallaght Stadium [KO:8pm] as part of the league’s opening round of fixtures tonight, but the pitch was deemed unplayable on Friday morning following the heavy rain that has sluiced down upon Dublin in recent days.
The Tallaght clash was slated to be the live game on Virgin Media Television, with the broadcaster now set to show Derry City vs Sligo Rovers live instead.
