Monaghan miss chance to finish off City

Monaghan United 1

Cork City surely have more room for improvement for Tuesday's replay after an unexceptional contest which provided little evidence to differentiate between the relative standing of the two teams.

Cork presented the more balanced challenge as you would expect and created more scoring chances, but Monaghan were close to achieving an upset. Little wonder their manager, Bobby Browne, spoke in optimistic terms afterwards.
