Third Munster derby of the season this evening as Waterford FC travel to Cork City

Waterford and Cork City will meet in the third Munster Derby this evening when the sides clash on Leeside in the SSE Airtricity league Premier Division.

Both teams have won their home games to date this season, with the Blues overcoming the league champions 2-1 in an ill-tempered affair at the RSC in April.

Waterford got their season back on track with an impressive 4-nil victory over Derry last weekend, and will be hoping to keep the pressure on John Caulfield's side with a positive result this evening.

Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux will be playing his last game for the Blues in this match and he says playing with the club has given him back his love for the game.
