The Blues welcome First Division side Cobh Ramblers to the RSC this Friday night as we kick-off our 2026 Club Orange Men’s FAI Cup campaign at the second round stage against Fran Rockett’s side, and we’ve put together a guide of everything that is happening around the ground on matchnight.
Match Details
Kick-off tomorrow night is at 7:45pm at the RSC against Cobh. The game must be decided on the night, so extra time & penalties are required if needed on the night.
Gates open at 6pm for both sets of supporters.
Fanzone/Container/Lounge
Our Container & Lounge on the New Stand side of the RSC will be closed on Friday night. However, our Fanzone area will remain open from 6pm on matchnight for supporters to relax ahead of kick-off, with our ever-popular €5 pint deal in place for the final game this summer tomorrow night – available pre-game & at half-time.
Hot food, soft drinks & confectionary will also be available in our fanzone, along with the addition of Cappucino’s & Latte’s now available on our menu for €3.50 each after feedback from supporters in recent weeks.
Fanzone Music
We are delighted to announce Nevie Colbert – fresh from his popular performance in our Fanzone last Friday – will be back this week from 6pm, playing the best tunes in the build up to kick-off.
Club Shop
Our official Waterford FC Club Shop – located at Kingsmeadow Retail Park just a stones throw away from the RSC – will be open from 11am on matchday up until 7:30pm with our full Waterford FC range available for supporters to choose from.
