Cork City's FAI Cup clash against Treaty United has been postponed by a day, the FAI have confirmed.

City were initially set to make the trip to Limerick to take on Treaty in the first round of the Cup on Friday night but the Rebel Army requested for the fixture to be rescheduled following the tragic passing of striker Ruairí Keating's father last weekend.
