Classy goals set up City’s first home win

Cork City 3 St Patrick’s Athletic 1

Three goals, two of them quite spectacular, laid the foundations for the victory and although the Dubliners did get a late consolation, City’s skill and hunger proved too much for the visitors.

City started hesitantly, but in the second minute, Kevin Doyle got on the end of a long ball, beat Foley and was on his way past Prenderville and clear on goal when the full-back dragged him to the floor.
