Penalty nightmare as City's dreams shattered

Cork City 1 Bohemians 1

The cards were all stacked against them and they had to win last night and hope arch-rivals Shels lost. It was not to be.

A resolute Bohemians, missing several regulars, eked out a draw thanks to a dodgy refereeing decision and City's inability on the night to score more than one goal, but it was the results elsewhere which ultimately mattered most.
