Murray's goal proves just the spur for City

Shamrock Rovers 0 Cork City 2

The home side were struggling despite numerical advantage after Shamrock Rovers’ full-back Trevor Croly received a second yellow card. But Murray put away a George O’Callaghan free kick, giving his side the lead in the 67th minute of a tense league tie.

The strike sparked off a five minute spell of brilliance which yielded a goal from O’Callaghan after a wonderful passing movement involving Kevin Doyle and lionhearted midfielder Greg O’Halloran.
