Daly to lead Cork in historic tie

CORK City will be led by the experienced Declan Daly when they create a little bit of history by playing in the first competitive tie at senior level against a selection from the Kerry District League in Tralee tonight.

The match will be played at Mount Hawk (7.30 kick-off). And Cork City manager Pat Dolan took steps designed to avoid a possible upset result in this League Cup tie by guaranteeing the presence of several first team players of genuine substance in his team selection.

Daly will lead a team certain to include Noel Mooney in goal and Stephen Napier in defence.
