City look to prey on Saints
As the old season ended, so the new one begins, with Cork City hosting the champions. But that’s where the similarities end. The home side ran out 4-2 winners last October but, well merited though the victory was, there was plenty of evidence on the night that the newly-crowned kingpins from Dublin were already in holiday mood.
It will be very different at the Cross this evening, and not just because Liam Buckley’s already formidable array of talent has been boosted by the return of Irish international Keith Fahey who, despite his lengthy lay-off from the game, confirmed class is permanent with a stunning goal to give his old club a 1-0 victory in the President’s Cup against Sligo Rovers last Sunday.
