Waterford good enough to bounce back, warns O’Brien

SECOND-PLACED Cork City travel to Waterford United tonight (7.30) to give the RSC its first taste of top-flight Munster derby action in years.

Around 500 City fans are expected to make the journey to give the match a competitive derby atmosphere while it will be a road well-travelled for City midfielder Colin T O’Brien.

O’Brien had a spell on loan at Waterford United in the 2001/2002 season and knows exactly what to expect from Jimmy McGeough’s side, who have seen their good start to life in the top flight eroded with two thumping defeats on their travels to St Patrick’s Athletic and Bohemians recently.
