Waterford blow Cork away with explosive start

Waterford United 3 Cork City 0

Two goals within five minutes of kick-off established Waterford’s claims to the points, and Cork could do nothing to undermine their position.

The atmospheric storm of wind and rain relented in time for the start but Cork ran into another of Waterford’s making. They were so ill-equipped to deal with it that they were virtually blown away before they had time to break sweat.
