Tallaght Stadium plays host to the EA Sports Cup final today... Shamrock Rovers v Drogheda United EA Sports Cup Final Tallaght Stadium, 22.09.12, Kick-off: 5.45pm
Shamrock Rovers director of football, Brian Laws said: "When I came in I asked the players for blood, sweat and tears this week; I didn't think they take me literally, but we ended up with a few cuts and bruises, they've worked so hard this week. The players have given me a fantastic response and they are all really looking forward to the game tomorrow. "It is very unusual for your first game with a club to be a cup final, but that's the way it is. We want to start off well with a win tomorrow and then we will be looking at the last six games as a mini-league from which we will be looking to qualify for a European spot." Tickets are on sale at the ticket booths in the car park pre match, there is free car parking at level 3 in The Square.
