Finn Harps face Dundalk in first home game of the season

Finn Harps play their first home game this season when they host Dundalk at Finn Park.

Tomrorow night’s game sees the first competitive meeting between the sides since October 2022.

Harps will be hoping to bounce back from their opening day defeat in Kerry, while the Lilywhites will look to maintain their winning start after beating fellow promotion hopefuls Athlone Town 1-0.

Harps Manager Darren Murphy said: “These young kids need the support of the fans and the fans have been tremendous with the players down through the years, but now we need the fans more than ever and I would encourage them to get behind their young team and give them that support that I know our fans will do.

“You can rest assured, I will be encouraging the young players to give their all like they did in the first game against Kerry, and they will do the next 35 games.

“Finn Park can be a special place on a Friday night under the lights and it’s up to the supporters to make it special.

“I want that bond to grow between the supporters and the players. That’s what’s important for me, the relationship between the players and the fans and hopefully that will continue to grow as the season goes on.”

Kick-off at Finn Park is 7:45pm.

Finn Harps will be buoyed by the return of young Gavin McAteer who was on international duty last week.

However new signing Gavin Hodgins joins Aaron McLaughlin on the injury list after picking up an ankle injury in Kerry and is expected to miss a few weeks as is Corey Sheridan.
