Premier Division clash between St Pat's and Dundalk postponed over Covid-19 case

A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course.

THE SSE AIRTRICITY League Premier Division clash between St Patrick’s Athletic and Dundalk originally scheduled for this Friday has been postponed.

A statement released by the league reports that one positive Covid-19 case has been identified in the St Patrick’s Athletic squad.

This means that the entire first team squad and staff are now restricting their movements and awaiting tests, in accordance with HSE and government guidelines.

The news comes after Galway United’s clash with Drogheda United was also postponed due to two Covid-19 cases in the Galway United squad.

Dundalk are already facing a hectic schedule with five additional games left to play until the end of their campaign on 1 November, meaning the league may have to be extended to facilitate their game against St Pat’s.

A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course.

    Had reservations about what Leeds would do but Bielsa has really worked magic. It’s like he has focused on perfecting players strengths than wasting time on improving weaknesses. There are few teams that could comfortably commit too many players to attack their defence because of Leeds swift precise and deadly attacking and counter attacking. Much as I love the blades and Wilder I’m jealous seeing the way they play. No fluke, a masterplan of a few years in the making.

    @Pat Ryan: Bielsa and the way he has Leeds playing has restored my faith in the beautiful game, they are a joy to watch and I’m so glad Bamford has proven me wrong

    #alaw or for those not familiar with Irish Leeds fans, “all Leeds aren’t we.”
    Looking forward to getting back to the Peacock et cetera when normality returns. Meanwhile tonight and nights like this will do just fine.
