Kearney and Gamble lead City’s ‘fantastic performance’

Shamrock Rovers 1 Cork City 1

Despite a mundane first half performance, it was a second half that Cork City could only dream about. Playing a brand of dazzling football not seen since their mid-summer odyssey through Europe, City teased and tormented the home side for a full forty- five minutes, conjured up attack after attack, plundered the Rovers’ goal and despite a wonderful strike from the outstanding Liam Kearney, could still only come away with a point.

Dolan was positively beaming at full-time. Having admonished his troops at the break, they returned an inspired group on the turnover, lead mainly by the creative forces of Joe Gamble and Kearney.
