Mathews expects ‘tough test’ from Limerick 37

CORK CITY and Limerick 37 play for a quarter-final berth in the League Cup tonight, as the Premier Division meets the First Division at Turner’s Cross (kick off 7.45pm).

“I look forward to welcoming Limerick to Turner’s Cross,” says City boss Alan Mathews. “It’s good to see Michael Kerley back involved at Limerick; he had a very successful spell there previously and I have no doubt he will be looking to push on into the promotion race in the First Division.”

Although Dave Mulcahy’s groin injury is not as bad as was originally feared, he is still set to miss tonight’s game. Stikers John O’Flynn and Dave Mooney are also carrying knocks and are not expected to feature.
