Shels announce replacement fixtures

Shelbourne have wasted no time in announcing two new pre-season friendlies after the cancellation of both games they had scheduled for this weekend.

Earlier today, the Reds' preparations for the new season were hit when their matches against Derry City and Letterkenny Rovers were both called off due to the adverse weather conditions.

However, manager Dermot Keely has quickly moved to set-up alternative fixtures. The first of those comes next Tuesday when Shels travel to LSL outfit Phoenix FC on the Navan Road (kick-off 8pm), while Drogheda United provide the opposition on Friday 20 February in a meeting set for United Park (kick-off 7.45pm).
