Rovers aim to maintain momentum against Cork City

SHAMROCK ROVERS are determined to confirm their claim to being the most consistent team in the country at the minute by beating Cork City at Richmond Park tonight (kick-off: 7.45).

Rovers have won five of their last six Eircom League matches, the only blot being their heartbreaking loss in the cup final to Derry City.

Said manager Liam Buckley: “We have played ourselves from near the bottom into the top of the table with good football in recent weeks and this match against Cork is very important to us. If we can win here we will still be on course for a UEFA Cup place on the basis that until Bohs are beaten they must be regarded as champions elect.”
