Dublin derby between Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers to air on Virgin Media Two

Shamrock Rovers’ visit to Bohemians on Good Friday will be broadcast live on Virgin Media Two - in a first for the television station.

The FAI and League of Ireland announced the development on Wednesday evening.

The Dalymount Park clash - the first derby this season between the two Dublin rivals - is already sold out.

It means League of Ireland football, both men’s and women’s, will be covered across RTE, Virgin Media and TG4.

Coverage will begin at 7.30pm and the match will kick off at 7.45pm.

League of Ireland Director Mark Scanlon said: “We are delighted to announce this broadcast with Virgin Media TV to add to the coverage provided by our current partners RTÉ and TG4.

“With increased crowds and a great start to the season, it is important that as many people as possible get the opportunity to see live LOI football.

“Virgin Media’s coverage of such a big fixture will help us engage more fans than ever before.”
