The second round of games in the League of Ireland gets underway this weekend, as teams continue to settle back into the season.

The division has never been as popular, with over 30,000 fans attending games as the season got back underway. Following an interesting opening weekend, that saw Bohemians emerge as the only winners from the five games, players and managers will be aiming to prove a point this weekend.

After their win over Cork City, Bohemians will host Dundalk at Dalymount Park, who drew 1-1 against UCD in the opening weekend.

After a late equaliser from Joe Redmond denied them victory, Derry City host Cork, who will be aiming to avenge their disappointing performance last Friday.
