When the SSE Airtricity League First Division kicks off on Friday there will be one obvious change.
Derry City won the bragging rights over reigning SSE Airtricity League champions Shamrock Rovers, to seal their first ever President's Cup with a 2-0 win at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
Bohemians have further added to their ranks by signing right-back Jay Benn on loan from Lincoln City until the end of June, while Faroese International striker Stefan Radosavljevic has joined Sligo Rovers on a two-year deal.
When Derry City get their season underway on Friday night with the curtain raiser of a President's Cup final against reigning league champions Shamrock Rovers, Colm Whelan's absence from the Candystripes matchday squad will be no surprise.
History tends to loom large for the vast majority of football clubs and Shamrock Rovers are no different in that regard.
