The Airtricity League’s updated fixture list has confirmed times and dates for this season’s midweek games as well as matches moved to avoid clashing with Republic of Ireland international nights.

Among the Bohemians fixtures confirmed is our EA Sports Cup opener with UCD, which is now penciled in to take place on Monday March 11th at Dalymount Park, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Early-season Dublin derbies away to to St Patrick’s Athletic and Shelbourne have been set for Saturday March 23rd (kick-off 5pm)  and Monday April 1st (kick-off 7pm) respectively.

Even as they prepare together for the new league season, Bohemian midfielders Stephen Traynor and Andy Mulligan are also preparing to oppose each other.

Their college teams compete in a CUFL (Colleges and Universities Football League) semi-final next Wednesday.

Traynor plays with DCU, who have reached the semi-finals for the first time. They meet title holders IT Carlow, for whom Mulligan scored twice in their 5-1 quarter-final demolition of University of Limerick.

The semi-final takes place at Home Farm FC, Whitehall, on Wednesday 20 February (2pm). The following week, DCU compete again for college football honours in the Collingwood Cup being staged at University of Ulster Jordanstown.

Former Bohemians David Lodola, Dan Mahon and Robbie Gaul are also members of the DCU squad.

The game has been moved to protect the Dalymount pitch.

Post-match entertainment will be provided by DJs Jay Carax (Punky Reggae Party), Thomas (Freebooters and Sin É Friday night regular) and Sparky (White collar boy) playing long into the night.

And for all you early-starters looking for a whole day of sporting action, don’t forget the weekly Sunday Club starts at 12pm in the Members’ Bar where all the best of day’s Premier League football will be shown.

There was a full house at Clontarf’s Viking Theatre on Monday (4 February) when Peter Sheridan presented his latest solo show in aid of St Vincent de Paul (SVP).

Bohemian FC organised the fundraiser in association with the Viking Theatre. After the performance, a cheque for €650 was presented to SVP Finglas.

Sheridan’s show, Break A Leg, is based on his second memoir, recently published under the same title.

The performance weaves together stories from Sheridan’s earliest days in amateur drama under his father’s guidance to his pioneering projects of the 1980s in community drama in Dublin’s inner city. The run continues at the Viking Theatre until Saturday (9 February).

Bohemians have completed the signing of three-time FAI Cup-winning defender Stephen Paisley.

The centre-back, 29, joins from north Dublin rivals Shelbourne after spending the last three seasons at Tolka Park.

During his time there, Paisley helped Shels win promotion back to the Premier Division in 2010, was an FAI Cup runner-up in 2011 and was named Airtricity/SWAI Player of the Month for November 2011.

Dubliner Paisley – a former Ireland Under-21 international – began his career as a trainee at Manchester City, returning home in 2003 to join Alan Mathews’ Longford Town where he won back-to-back FAI Cups in 2003  and 2004.
