FAI Cup holders Cork City face a tough trip to Finn Harps at the start of the 2017 season.
Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan said: "“We couldn’t have got a tougher start than Cork City who are a top side.
"John Caulfield has strengthened his squad significantly and they will definitely be in with a big shout to win the league this year.
"We lost three times against them last year so that shows you what we are up against”

Cork City manager John Caulfield said: "Ollie Horgan has done a phenomenal job at Finn Harps; he got them promoted against all the odds, they were everyone’s favourites to go down last year and they did really well.
"On our last trip to Finn Park, we scraped a late win up there and, typical of Ollie’s teams, they are very well-organised, physically strong, very passionate and Finn Park is a difficult venue.
"I hear they are expecting a big crowd, so we are under no illusions that it will be right battle up there."
