Byrne joins Morley and thwarts City

Jason Byrne joined Cork legend Pat Morley in second place on the all-time League of Ireland goalscorers’ list as his 182nd goal saw Bray Wanderers come back from a goal down to earn a deserved point at Turner’s Cross last night.

It looked like Tadhg Purcell’s early goal might have been enough for Cork to earn a first league win of the season but Byrne’s excellent finish 15 minutes from time when he clinically finished from the edge of the box after being put through by John Mulroy leaves Cork languishing at the wrong end of the table.

Cork manager Tommy Dunne made five changes from the side that lost to Derry City at The Brandywell last Friday.
