Provisional Opening Weekend Fixtures

With the divisional line-ups still in limbo until Cork City's fate is decided, the FAI have produced a provisional fixture list for the opening weekend of the 2010 season and the rest of the campaign.

The winners of the two major trophies last season will definitely go head-to-head, though, as FAI Cup holders Sporting Fingal travel to Dalymount Park to take on League champions Bohemians, with Glen Crowe making a quick return to his old stomping ground.

Elsewhere, Galway United will make the trip to Richmond Park to take on St. Pat's for the second season running, while Shamrock Rovers face a trek to the north-west to take on Paul Cook's Sligo Rovers.

In the First Division, Sathill Devon make their historic League debut at home to Limerick FC, Dermot Keely's Shelbourne will entertain Monaghan United, while Waterford United will host a south-east derby when they take on Wexford Youths.
