Bohs to face Longford & Cork
Credit:
Bohemians have confirmed that they will travel to Turner’s Cross on Friday February 25th to face Cork City in a friendly, while also welcoming Longford Town to Dalymount Park on Monday 21st .
Pat Fenlon announced nine new signings earlier this week, and after also obtaining a Premier Division licence for 2011 despite recent financial problems, the Gypsies will face the First Division outfits a week before their league campaign kicks-off with a trip to Bray.
Cork had originally been scheduled to play Sporting Fingal on Friday week, only for the fixture to be scrapped after Fingal’s demise, while the postponement of Bohs’ Setanta Cup clash with Portadown on Monday has opened up a gap in their schedule, with Longford coming to Phisboro instead.
Meanwhile, newspaper reports this morning suggested that Bohs have failed to pay off the remaining sum of money owed to the 2010 squad. There has been no official word from the club or the PFAI, however.
