One of the biggest rivalries' in the league of Ireland will take centre stage tonight.
Waterford FC entertain champions Shamrock Rovers, with the Blues hoping to build on last weekend's 3-1 win over Dundalk at Oriel Park.
It was a first win under new manager Marc Bircham who worked the players throughout the mid-season break with some intense training sessions
Midfielder Eric Molloy told WLR Sport, the win last weekend was massive for the confidence; "I think we surprised a few people with that result, Marc has instilled a belief in the team since he came in here and he's trying to create this winning mentality within the squad and you could see it there against Dundalk last week, all the boys put in a serious shift and it was great to get the result".
