Cork retain winning line-up to play Rovers

CORK CITY’S injured warriors are recovering fitness quickly but they will have to queue for places in a team determined to maintain their winning run at Turner’s Cross tonight when they play Shamrock Rovers in the premier division of the Eircom League.

Manager Liam Murphy will welcome back from injury Conor O'Grady and Declan Daly by assigning them places on the substitutes' bench. Cork's winning run this season they have lost only once in 10 matches means there will be few, if any, changes from the team that beat Finn Harps in the Cup replay.

That is not to suggest that Cork's team is the finished product. There were times during the match with Harps when Cork looked fragile, and while their winning margin of 2-0 looked convincing on paper, the reality was different.
