City sitting pretty but won’t take Galway lightly

THINGS are getting tighter at the top of the League of Ireland Premier Division and should either Bohemians or Derry City slip up tonight, Cork City are well placed to take advantage as they host Galway United at Turner’s Cross.

Cork are just three points behind leaders Bohs and one behind Derry as they seek to stretch their unbeaten run to seven games following last week’s 2-1 comeback victory over Dundalk. Not surprisingly, manager Paul Doolin is reasonably happy with progress to date.

“The players are working well and I think we are becoming more of a unit,” he says. “I think it will take time for us to gel fully, but we are moving in the right direction and the main thing is to build on what we have done already. We’ve been on a good run, but we’re not getting carried away as the important thing is we develop consistency.”
