Statement - Shamrock Rovers v Cork City
It was with great regret that we were forced into the postponement of this evening’s SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division fixture between Shamrock Rovers and Cork City at Tallaght Stadium.
The pitch was passed playable in the first pitch inspection at 11:15 this morning and with more rain forecast amid changeable weather conditions, it was agreed with both Clubs that a second inspection would take place at 16:00.
The pitch was deemed playable at this juncture and unfortunately a torrential downpour occurred after the second pitch inspection which made the pitch unplayable.
We would like to thank the match officials and ground staff in trying to get the game to go ahead and we apologise to supporters for the disappointment caused after they made great efforts in travelling to today’s game to support their Clubs.
