Elsewhere, Drimnagh Celtic took on Tallaght’s Old Court Celtic in the final of the LFL’s Watkins Cup, and there is a full report and pictures from what was a tense and exciting game in the Transport Club. Shamrock Rovers travel down to Inchicore for the ‘Luas Derby’ on Friday night, and we have all you need to know ahead of what is sure to be an important clash between the two Dublin clubs.
