Shamrock Rovers focus on Waterford as title hopes hinge on key match

Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley emphasized that his team must focus solely on their match against Waterford, ignoring the outcome of the Derry City vs. Shelbourne game. Rovers are in contention for the League of Ireland title, needing a win to keep their hopes alive. Derry City is no longer in the title race and is preparing for the upcoming FAI Cup final. Shelbourne can secure the league title with a win, while a loss or draw would allow Rovers to potentially take the championship. Rovers will be without defenders Sean Hoare and Daniel Cleary due to injury and suspension, respectively. Bradley acknowledged Waterford as a tough opponent, having previously lost to them this season.
