Date: Fri 26.July
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: UCD Bowl (3000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier Division, UCD holding 10th place and Waterford United lying 8th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
