The FAI has announced new dates for the two SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixtures that were postponed this week.

The clash between Finn Harps and Shelbourne was called off due to Finn Park being covered by a blanket of snow.

St. Patrick's Athletic versus Derry City could not go ahead with the pitch at Richmond Park waterlogged after persistent rainfall in Dublin.

The two postponed fixtures will now take place on Monday, March 16 and will kick-off at 7.45pm.
