O’Callaghan key to Cork’s challenge

THE return to form of George O’Callaghan against Shelbourne has given Cork City an important lift as the eircom League enters its closing stages.

Cork will look for a repeat performance tomorrow when they face Derry City at Turner’s Cross (12 noon) in a game they must win if they are not to lose touch with Bohemians.

The visit of Derry will revive memories of the day they spoiled Cork’s unbeaten home record in the FAI Cup semi-final. It was a defeat that still rankles with Cork, who went straight up to the Brandywell the following week to achieve a battling draw in the League.
