Horgan’s humdinger hits high note for City

AIRTRICITY PREMIER DIVISION:

And for that, they had to thank Daryl Horgan for an absolute wonder goal which not only finally gave Turner’s Cross something glorious to cheer about but which also ensured that a morale-sapping run of four home defeats on the trot would not be extended.

The inevitable lack of confidence which comes on the back of a poor run of form was one obvious explanation for Cork’s nervy opening, with heavy touches and misplaced passes littering their play. And Drogheda could, and probably should, have punished them after 10 minutes, Cathal Brady failing to convert from close range having sneaked in unmarked at the far post to get on the end of David Cassidy’s cross.
