Tale of two cities resumes

MANAGER Tommy Dunne is set to name his strongest side this evening when Cork City host Division One leaders Derry City in one of the biggest games of the season so far at Turner’s Cross (7.45pm).

Eight consecutive wins have seen the Candystripes go top of the table and, having seen his reshuffled side lose 0-3 to Limerick in the EA Sports Cup on Tuesday night, the City boss knows his side will need to produce a much more positive display tonight.

“It will be a tough game, but with our strongest starting XI out, we’d give anybody a match,” says Dunne.
