Cork City manager Tim Clancy accepted the decision to postpone today’s fixture at Shamrock Rovers but has sympathy for the travelling fans already inside the ground.

Despite the Tallaght Stadium pitch passing inspections at both 11am and 4pm, 40 minutes before the 6pm, another survey resulted in it being deemed waterlogged.
