Town will play a friendly with Waterford United on Friday 17th July (KO 8pm). The game at the League of Ireland side's RSC ground replaces the previously planned fixture at Limerick.

Waterford United captain Michael Devine welcomed the fixture: "This is great news, great for the club and great for the players. We're delighted to get a chance to test ourselves against such strong opposition, and to see where we are as a team, all of our lads will be really up for this one!”

Tickets will go on sale next week, from the club office priced at €15. (£12.70).
