Shelbourne Tolka Park clash with Linfield live on RTÉ

Shelbourne's quest for European league phase football continues next week as the reigning League of Ireland champions come face-to-face with Irish League holders Linfield.

The two sides met in the early rounds of the Champions League, with Shelbourne coming out on top 2-1 on aggregate in July, and they will do it all again, this time in the guise of the UEFA Conference League.

The winners of the two-leg tie will progress to the league phase of the competition, where Shamrock Rovers will be also hoping to join them, as the Hoops face a tough task against Portuguese side Santa Clara.

The Shelbourne home game will be available to watch live on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player next Thursday, with the game kicking off at 7.45pm at Tolka Park.

Rovers' first leg is away from home at the Estadio do San Miguel.
