Elsewhere, Bray Wanderers have reversed their first two home games of the First Division season as the Carlisle Grounds won’t be ready in time to host matches.

Due to ongoing maintenance on their pitch, the Seagulls’ games against UCD and Wexford on the second and third weekend of the season will now be played away.

In May, Sligo Rovers’ home game against St Patrick’s Athletic originally scheduled for Saturday, May 31 will now be played on Friday, May 30.
