Waterford FC are back at the RSC for their penultimate home game this afternoon where they host Shelbourne FC.

The Blues had the beating of Shels when they last met as games returned post-lockdown, and today they will be aiming to replicate the previous result.

Three points today would be invaluable to Franny Rocket and David Breen. They already have one foot in the door of European Qualification and are trailed by St Pats by a single point.

Speaking to Nigel on Saturdays On The Ball, Rockett says that claiming a European spot would mean so much to Waterford Football fans as well as the players

The RSC will be empty this afternoon with the exception of payers and staff, as the new level 3 guidelines don't permit spectators to attend. Its something that all teams have been dealing with in recent times and across numerous European leagues the results that have been thrown up are chaotic to say the least.

Rockett isn't sure if its affected the players too much, but he recognizes that it may well affect the officials
