Pat's pride as Cork kickstart campaign

St. Pat's 0 Cork City 2

This was a big game for both sides, but Cork City looked a much improved outfit to the team that lost to Shamrock Rovers at the same venue a fortnight ago.

Throughout the side, there was a greater hunger for the ball and some players, Neale Fenn and John O'Flynn in particular, seemed eager to inject urgency into their play.
