City pay the penalty as Drogs steal the points

Cork City 0 Drogheda 1

His side remain winless at home after the visitors completed what was effectively a smash-and-grab raid with a penalty in a game they did not deserve to win.

Cork City dominated this match, but they could not push their advantage home and in the end they paid the price. Scottish referee Brian Winter, the first non-Irish referee to take charge of an eircom league game, took a lot of stick at the end, but effectively Cork only had themselves to blame.
