Waterford FC aiming to progress to the Munster Cup Final

We are edging ever closer to the meeting of Waterford FC and Cork City in Ozier Park, with a place in the Munster Senior Cup final the reward for victory on the night.

Danny Searle's side was left frustrated after a 2-2 draw at home to Bray Wanderers on Saturday and will be aiming to rectify that against their Premier opponent.

The Blue's bitter rivals have had the better of the recent clashes, enjoying wins on both of their previous two visits to Waterford.

Searle's men saw off Midleton FC in the previous round - an intriguing 2-1 victory at the RSC.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s match, Head Coach Danny Searle said: "We got off to an amazing start on Saturday but the sending-off kills us.

"He’s held his hands up and the lads have dug him by out holding onto a point. Tuesday is now the focus.

"We’ve got a lot of players who need minutes and they’ll be involved as well as utilising the Under-19s too so we can see more of them.

"It’s a great chance for players to stake a claim for a spot in the team too so we’ll treat the game right."

Matthew Connor remains unavailable and is progressing with his return from injury.
