Tim Clancy: League of Ireland won't catch Cork City on the hop over refixed Shamrock Rovers match

“If, for instance, we play, let’s say away in Derry on a Friday night, I won’t play the game on a Monday in Dublin,” insisted Clancy.

Tim Clancy insists the League of Ireland won’t catch Cork City “on the hop” with regards to refixing their clash with Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium.

City were due to take on Rovers last Sunday evening but after three pitch inspections at 11.15am, 4pm, and 5pm, the 6pm kick-off was cancelled at short notice due to pitch being deemed unplayable.
