Good evening and welcome to another Independent.ie live blog covering Matchday 18 of the League of Ireland Premier Division. My name is Ultán Corcoran, and I will be keeping you up to speed with all the action it unfolds around the grounds.
We only have two games to bring you this evening as the Irish clubs contending in Europe aim to free up space in their busy schedule. Drogheda United are hosting Shamrock Rovers, while St.Patrick’s Athletic take on Shelbourne in the Dublin derby.
Both games kick-off at 7.45pm and can only be viewed with a LOITV subscription.
