Following two inspections of the playing surface of the RSC, referee Aaron O'Dowd has passed the pitch playable for this evening's SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division game between Waterford FC and Sligo Rovers.
After torrential rain, the RSC surface had water on it when the officials arrived with a 7pm inspection called, but the green light was given after a closer look at conditions.
Kick-off is 7.45pm
