Boost for City as O’Flynn returns for northern trip

GROUP TWO leaders Cork City will be close to full strength for their first Setanta Cup test north of the border, when they take on Portadown at Shamrock Park this evening.

Although Joe Gamble is suspended, City have been lifted by the news that striker John O’Flynn has recovered from a hip injury and will be available for selection.

“John is fully fit and came through training on Saturday and again yesterday,” said manager Damien Richardson, “and at the very least he will be in the squad. It’s a real boost for us.”
