Uninspired City fail to score

Cork City 0 Galway Utd 0

After suffering a heavy 3-1 defeat on Monday night in the Setanta Cup, it was no surprise that the final whistle was met with a chorus of boos from a small section of disgruntled City supporters amongst a 4000-plus attendance.

The zest and vigour which greeted the opening of City’s campaign last season is seriously lacking in these early games, and a win when Portadown visit in the Setanta Cup on Tuesday should give Cork’s season a much needed ‘pick-me-up’.
