Richardson: Let’s turn on the style

THOSE who argue that the FAI Cup has shed much of its glamour in recent years should get a resounding response to the contrary at Turner’s Cross tonight, when the venue will be packed to capacity for the semi-final clash of the league’s big two, Cork City and Derry City (ko 7.40pm).

Now all the teams have to do is provide a spectacle for the live TV cameras and the crowd and, as they say, make for a good advertisement for the game.

Says City boss Damien Richardson: "This season has been a very beneficial year both in terms of TV and radio and the written press. It's important that we emphasise the quality we've already shown this season in the League right through to the end of the year.
