Waterford will be looking to bounce back from a frustrating defeat on the road to Bohemians in an all important fixture against top of the table Shamrock Rovers.
A detrimental mistake from Stephen McMullan led to the Bohemians opener, as he soared up to secure a wayward cross, in which he fumbled it from his own hands and it bounced back over his own goal line. An attempted catch by Chorazka was won by Podge Amond and was headed just over the line but was cleared, and subsequently ruled as a goal for the bagsman, who sits top of the goalscoring tally, with a staggering 13 goals. Meekson pounced on a sleeping defence from a cross to give Bohemians all 3 points in a vital push for European football next year.
Rovers make the 2 hour trip from the capital in an attempt to secure the league title whilst Waterford are still at risk of relegation playoffs. Rovers come into this tie after a frustrating draw to relegation bound Cork City, with a late Darragh Crowley screamer sharing out the points. Rovers have been the more dominant side over the blues in recent years, with 5 wins from the last 5 fixtures between the sides. Waterford come into this with no injuries, but missing Conan Nonnan due to loan restrictions, whilst Rovers are missing Conor Malley with a knee injury.
