Sunday afternoon football at the RSC brings together two sides with plenty to play for as the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland heads towards the business end of the season.

Waterford FC will be looking to build on their impressive recent form and extend their unbeaten run of 5 games.

Graham Coughlan’s side will look to harness the energetic home support and consolidate their position while putting some distance between themselves and Sligo Rovers in the ongoing relegation battle, meanwhile Alan Reynold’s Bohemians make the trip down the country intent on improving their European chances for next season.

Waterford are coming into the game off the back of an impressive 1-0 victory over Shelbourne last time out courtesy of a sharp finish from Tommy Lonergan. The vital three points secured add to solid points picked up during their recent good form and continued defensive discipline will be key as they look to stifle a dangerous looking Bohs attack.

An intense high tempo encounter is expected and WLR will be keeping you updated throughout the afternoon as Ray Scott provides live updates from the RSC.
