Derry City's clash with champions Shamrock Rovers off due to Covid cases

Derry's FAI Cup quarter-final with Sligo has also been postponed, the FAI said.

The Hoops were due to be presented with the League of Ireland championship trophy after the live televised game at Tallaght Stadium.

The FAI has confirmed that tomorrow night’s Shamrock Rovers versus Derry City Premier Division clash at Tallaght Stadium will not go ahead as scheduled due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Derry squad.

Derry flagged on social media on Monday night that the game was off due to their being unable to fulfil the fixture after two confirmed positive cases of coronavirus in their camp, one player and a member of their backroom team.
