Bohs players Karl Moore and Keith Buckley were joined by Rovers pair Shane Robinson and Karl Sheppard (all pictured above) in a nice show of solidarity ahead of the big Dublin derby on Friday night.

Bohs have started well this season with four points from their opening two games, scoring five goals in the process. Rovers have also got four points and they too have scored five goals. With the teams both locked on the same points and goal difference, this Friday will tell us a bit about both teams’ chances of silverware this season.

The atmosphere is sure to be white hot on Friday night in Dalymount Park as both teams look to put one over on their fiercest rivals. It’s a match we are all looking forward to and we cannot wait to visit the old Phibsboro venue for the 7.45pm kick-off.

Ahead of the return fixture in Tallaght Stadium on May 23rd, players from both clubs will visit Tallaght Hospital in the build-up.

Nice touch lads.
