Waterford FC make the journey to Dublin once again this Friday to take on league leaders Shelbourne FC in the penultimate away game of their 2024 SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division campaign.
Keith Long’s men make the journey to Drumcondra on looking to spoil this year's Premier Division title race, with Shelbourne currently sitting top with three games to go.
The Blues will look to build on last week’s point picked up at home to Drogheda United – a point that secured Waterford’s place in next year's Premier Division.
The Blues have had three close games against the Reds so far this year, with the sides drawing 1-1 on the opening night of the season at the RSC, before Damien Duff’s side defeated the Blues 1-0 in both the respective two meetings later on in the season.
Waterford FC sit in seventh place in the league table going into Friday’s fixture against Shelbourne, with 44 points to their name from 33 games.
Shelbourne welcome the Blues to Tolka Park on Friday looking to maintain their position at the head of the Premier Division table, despite a run of disappointing form over recent weeks – winning just one of their last ten league games.
Buoyed by a packed out Tolka Park on Friday, Damien Duff’s men will look to turn that form around if they want to bring the Premier Division trophy back to Drumcondra for the first time in 18 years.
WLR will bring you the game live thanks to McConnell's Toyota Waterford - join Ray Scott and John Frost for live commentary from 7:30pm.
