League of Ireland: Neale Fenn seeking solidity to stop mighty Shamrock Rovers

Cork City manager Neale Fenn

Cork City manager Neale Fenn is calling for defensive solidity to provide a platform as the Rebel Army become the latest to try to end Shamrock Rovers’ SSE Airtricity League Premier Division unbeaten run.

The Hoops visit Turner’s Cross for a 2pm kick-off holding a five-point lead at the top of the table, having won eight and drawn two of their ten games so far. Earlier in the season, they beat City 6-0 at Tallaght Stadium but Fenn feels that the 2-1 FAI Cup defeat at the same venue 12 days ago was a better reflection of how close his team is to Stephen Bradley’s.
