A tale of two cities

THE TELEVISION cameras will be back in Turner’s Cross for the second time in four days when Cork City host Derry City in a significant Premier Division game tonight (kick off 7.35pm, live on RTÉ2).

Significant because, although the league season is only two games old, joint leaders Derry are the ones making the early running while Cork are struggling to find the net as they seek their first home win under manager Alan Mathews.

Tuesday night’s scoreless draw with Drogheda United in the Setanta Cup was another case of one that got away for a City side which couldn’t translate its dominance on the pitch into goals.
