City win streak ends as Twigg strikes late

WE KNOW about winning ugly but this was more a case of drawing ugly as neither Shamrock Rovers nor Cork City were able to live up to their reputations as sides who like to get the ball down and play.

Against the backdrop of the Dublin mountains, this was a largely flat affair enlivened by a touch of class from Colin Healy and a late and deserved comeback by the home side.

Cork boss Paul Doolin felt that a draw was probably a fair result but didn’t mince his words on the quality of the fare overall, especially during the first 45.
