Cork City get ‘perfect opportunity’ to bounce back

ON the principle that if you fall off your bike it’s best to quickly get back in the saddle, Damien Richardson says he’s pleased that tonight’s eircom League game against Sligo Rovers at Turner’s Cross (7.45pm) comes hot on the heels of Friday’s 2-0 defeat by St Patrick’s Athletic.

Says the Cork City boss: “I was disappointed by the performance on Friday. I felt that as a team we let ourselves down a little bit and the only way to get your appetite back is to have something come up as quickly as possible.

“So tonight is the perfect opportunity to bounce back with the correct attitude and the right performance. And if we do that we can use this game to launch us into the season proper.”
