City win Cork derby

TWO second-half goals saw Cork City advance to the Ford FAI Cup fourth round in last night’s local derby at Knockgriffen Park.

Midleton had a glorious chance to go in front 10 minutes before half-time. Ian Stapleton’s ball over the top found Andrew Knowles but Knowles couldn’t keep his shot down from inside the box as he blazed over.

City hit the front seven minutes into the second half when Danny Murphy found Graham Cummins with a ball over the top and the City striker was brought down inside the box by Michael Kenneally.
