City hoping Cup will get them ‘back on track’

WITH their challenge for the league title having fizzled out, the FAI Ford Cup now takes on added importance for a Cork City side which is desperate to inject new life into a disappointing campaign.

This evening at Turner’s Cross (kick off 7.45pm), Cork play host to First Division strugglers Kilkenny City, knowing that victory is essential if, in the words of manager Damien Richardson, his side is to get “back on track”.

Said Richardson: “The importance of the cup is known and accepted by all. However the most important aspect of this game is that we get our season back on track. We have suffered two consecutive losses. I think this is the first time this has happened to me as Cork City manager, and it is not a feeling I like.”
