Cork City insist it is "everyone's expectation" that Friday night's FAI Cup semi-final clash with St Patrick's Athletic will go ahead as planned.

However, Friday night's SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division fixture between Treaty United and Longford Town has been postponed after a pitch inspection failed at Markets Field this morning amid yellow weather warnings and heavy rainfall in the area.
