Victory over Rovers testament to Cork spirit, says Murray

CORK CITY skipper Dan Murray believes Tuesday night’s victory over Shamrock Rovers was a tribute to the spirit and unity of the players in the face of the recurring financial problems faced by the club.

“We’ve grown closer as the season has gone on, with everything going against us off the pitch,” he said, after City had come from behind to beat the title-chasers 1-2 in Tallaght.

“It’s a release for us to try and play a little bit of football and that was great for everyone.
