Damien’s double dilemma

AS Cork City trained at Bishopstown yesterday in advance of Sunday’s FAI Cup final showdown with Drogheda — for which 17,000 tickets have already been sold — Damien Richardson reported that his biggest concerns remain over the availability of Neale Fenn and Alan Bennett.

Striker Fenn hasn't trained since pulling a hamstring in the league decider against Derry City, and the Cork manager is keeping his fingers crossed that he can recover for the Lansdowne Road tie.

Centre half Bennett will have his yellow card appeal heard tomorrow and, says Richardson: "I'm very confident that the good, wise men of the FAI will make the right decision."
