Cobh Ramblers travelled for their previous game, a trip to Finn Harps that ended 2-2. Ramblers salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Finn Harps, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Doherty equalizing. A painful moment in the game against Finn Harps was the missed penalty kick from Doherty in the 49th minute.
