Waterford stun City in thriller

A RESURGENT Waterford United inflicted a first defeat of the season on Cork City and with it put a major dent in the Leesiders promotion bid in a five-goal thriller in last night’s Munster derby at Turners Cross.

The first half did little to enthuse the 1824 souls who braved the rain but the second half was an action packed spectacle with Paul Walsh’s goal 12 minutes from time turning out to be the winner.

Cork boss Tommy Dunne was forced to reshuffle his back four with centre back Gavin Kavanagh suspended for three games after being sent off in last week’s draw in Monaghan. This meant a start for Neal Horgan at right back with Stephen Mulcahy moving across to partner Kalen Spillane at the heart of the City defence.
