Cork City get their home campaign underway when they take on St Patrick’s Athletic at Turner’s Cross tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

HOME at last. It might be more deep south than southside but when Shamrock Rovers take to the pitch in the Tallaght Stadium this evening (kick off 8.05pm, all other games 7.45pm) it will finally bring to an end 22 years a-wanderin’ since they played their last game at Milltown before the wrecking ball put paid to the rich history of one of Irish football’s most cherished grounds.

St Patrick’s Athletic travel to Leeside tomorrow looking to pick up their first points of the season as they take on Cork City in Turner’s Cross (kick-off 7.45 p.m.)
