Battling Blues bounce back to rock City

Cork City 2 Waterford United 3

They twice came from behind to overtake Cork in a first-half of constant movement and excitement. And after jumping into the lead before half-time they defied Cork throughout a tense and dramatic second-half.

The most fascinating feature of an absorbing match was the manner in which the teams departed from their traditional roles to produce the sort of entertainment that has long been associated with these Munster derbies.
