Following Derry City’s failure to fulfil the scheduled SSE Airtricity League fixture against Shamrock Rovers on October 28th, the Independent Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association of Ireland has today ruled that no sanctions will be imposed on the club.

The charge was brought in accordance with FAI rules after a COVID-19 outbreak and the decision of the Northern Ireland Public Health Agency to stand down their first team squad, left Derry City unable to fulfil the fixture.

The Shamrock Rovers v Derry City game has now been rescheduled for this Saturday, November 7, at Tallaght Stadium, with a 3pm kick-off time.

Consequently, the final series of games in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division will now place next Monday night, November 9, with all five games scheduled for 7.30pm.
