A STOPPAGE-time Maritimo winner may have broken Sporting Fingal hearts, but manager Liam Buckley praised his players, insisting this tie is still very much in the melting pot.

Cork City: Devine, Horgan, Bennett, Dan Murray, Daniel Murphy, Gamble, O’Callaghan, O’Halloran, Kearney, Fenn, John O’Flynn. Subs: Coughlan, O’Brien, O’Donovan, Lordan, Bruton, Behan, McNulty.

ANY thoughts of holding out for a 0-0 draw against Djurgardens IF tonight will be banished from the minds of Cork City’s players at Turner’s Cross (7.30).
