Uninspired City slump to costly defeat

Bohemians 1 Cork City 0

It was an appropriately scrappy goal from Colin Hawkins that was the difference between these sides, the defender knocking in a fine Stephen Ward cross in the 52nd minute. It was one of the few bright spots in a game that won't be remembered for long.

It was notable for a few reasons, though. Farrelly brought himself on with a couple of minutes left, his first appearance since being unveiled as Bohs player-manager. It was also Bohs ninth game unbeaten, a far cry from their shaky start to the season.
