Doolin looking to build on Hoops performance against Sligo

THE only all Premier Division clash in tonight’s menu of FAI Ford Cup Third Round fixtures sees Cork City host Sligo Rovers at Turner’s Cross (all games kick-off 7.45pm).

City, winners of the trophy in 2007, will be looking for their first victory in four games after their fine unbeaten run in the league ended with successive defeats to Bohemians and Drogheda United.

But, going into cup battle, manager Paul Doolin says he was heartened by the team’s showing in last week’s scoreless draw with Shamrock Rovers.
