Cork must replace suspended O’Callaghan

CORK CITY will have to replace George O’Callaghan at centre-forward for tonight’s Eircom league match against St Patrick’s Athletic at Turner’s Cross (7.45 ko) because of his dismissal in the match against Bohemians.

O'Callaghan was shown the red card in the second half after a clash with Bohs' defender Colin Hawkins and he will have to serve an automatic one-match suspension.

Whether his ban will be limited to one match will depend upon how the incident is described in the referee's report. Cork manager Liam Murphy yesterday was considering two options for the vacant centre-forward position David Warren or Colin P O'Brien.
