Wasteful City in another stalemate

Turner’s Cross has been a place of real entertainment so far this season, with 27 goals in eight league games, but last night, with arch-rivals Shelbourne in town, the fervent Cork support were forced to endure their first blank of the season.

After a hectic week which saw them earn a draw against Sligo Rovers last Sunday before two friendlies on consecutive nights against Watford and Manchester United, City showed two changes from their last league game — defensive duo Kevin and Dan Murray coming in for Gavin Kavanagh and Kalen Spillane.

And even though they earned a coveted clean sheet it was an evening that was terribly frustrating as they picked up their seventh draw from the last nine games and a ninth in total this season.
