Cummins doubles up as City jump to second

GRAHAM CUMMINS came back to haunt his old club last night as Cork City kept their bid for promotion to the Airtricity Premier Division on track with a 3-1 success over Waterford United in the Munster derby meeting at the RSC last night.

Two goals from former Waterford player Cummins and an opening strike from Gearóid Morrissey gave the Leeside outfit the perfect preparation ahead of their EA Sports League cup final clash against Derry City at Turner’s Cross next Saturday evening.

It was the Blues who started well last night, however, and a wonder strike from striker Gary Keane nearly yielded the breakthrough in the fifth minute. Keane took a pass from Gary Dunphy and with Mark McNulty off his line, his stunning right-footed effort came crashing back off the underside of the crossbar.
