Waterford United will play host to Italian team AC Menaggio today in a charity match in aid of Childline. But the visitors will have a sprinkling of local talent at their disposal, as Paul McGrath and his son Chris will line out for the Italians.

The match, which has a 5.0 p.m. kick off, is expected to attract a large crowd at the RSC. It will be the first competitive match that the former Irish defender has played with his son.
