Eight games were scheduled for Monday, but official confirmation has seen just three games survive the adverse weather conditions.

Waterford’s Munster derby clash with Cork City, Limerick’s meeting with Cobh Ramblers, St Pat’s game against holders Dundalk and St Mochta’s clash with Drogheda United are all called off.

The postponements will add further woe to the hectic schedules of League of Ireland clubs, after previous games were also called off due to the heavy snowfall caused by Storm Emma.
