PREVIEW
A massive weekend lies ahead for the Blues as they host Shelbourne at the RSC in the FAI Cup semi-final on Sunday - Kick-off is at 4.45pm.
Waterford FC, who have won their last five fixtures, defeated reigning cup champions St Patrick's Athletic, Leinster Senior League side Malahide United and 12-time FAI cup winners Dundalk to book a place in Sunday's semi-final against Damien Duff's Shelbourne outfit.
Shels, who sit in seventh place on the Premier Division table, defeated Bray Wanderers, Bonagee United and Bohemians on their route to the last four.
Derry City welcome Treaty United in the other FAI Cup semi-final.
Ahead of the game, while speaking to Waterford FC, Blues boss Danny Searle said: "We have tried to treat it like a normal week, it is another big game - we are fortunate that every game from now until the end of the season is a big game.
"It is a nice game to be preparing for on Sunday. We back ourselves and we are looking forward to it, there is excitement so bring it on.
"There is going to be a big crowd, it is going to be a great occasion so hopefully we can rise to it."
