Soccer Tonight - Massive Title Clash And South East Hopes In The Cup

It's a big night of soccer tonight as the top two in the League of Ireland Premiere League face off, while the quarter finals of the FAI cup are also taking place.

Representing the South East, Wexford travel to the Rebel county to take on Cork City in one of the four FAI cup quarter finals due to be played.

There had been doubt over whether the fixture could go ahead due to the Orange weather warning in Munster.

However a pitch inspection at Turner's Cross has passed the pitch as fit for tonight's game.

In the League of Ireland Premiere division, tonight's game is a top of the table clash between Derry City and  Shamrock Rovers.

Derry are the in-form team in the league at present and with just four points separating the two teams, a win tonight for hosts Derry City could close that gap to just one point.

Virgin Media will broadcast the game live with a 7:45pm kick off
