The Premier Division fixture between Dundalk and Derry City in Oriel Park original set for Friday 14 April has been pushed out by two days due to US President Joe Biden’s state visit to Ireland.

The game will be now played on Sunday 16 April with a 3pm kick-off.

The match was moved following discussions with An Garda Siochana whose resources are being deployed to assist with Biden’s visit.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed this week that Mr Biden “will hold various engagements, including in Dublin, County Louth, and County Mayo.”
