Dunne wants City to put on a show

A PROMOTION campaign still thriving, an EA Sports Cup final to come and, now, another measure of how successful has been the rebirth of Cork City: tonight, Turner’s Cross will not only play host to an FAI Ford Cup quarter-final against St Patrick’s Athletic (RTÉ 2, 7.35pm) but also to live television cameras for the first time since the club endured its darkest days two years ago.

Of course, success is relative and City have won nothing yet.

But the significance of tonight’s occasion as another milestone in the club’s recovery is not lost on manager Tommy Dunne.
