Cork boss Dunne hunting first win as Mervue visit the Cross

CORK CITY FORAS CO-OP will be looking to get their first home points on the board in the Airtricity First Division this evening when they take on Mervue United at Turner’s Cross (kick off 7.45pm).

City have done well on the road to claim a point apiece from Derry and Athlone but a 2-0 home defeat by Waterford sees them trailing the league leaders by seven points after three games.

Cork welcome back veteran Greg O’Halloran, who was sent off in that game against the Suirsiders, but will be missing Dave Warren, who has been ruled out for several weeks after tearing his thigh muscle. Gearóid Morrissey is also still on the injured list but is expected to be available for selection in the near future.
