McCabe keeps Rovers in race

Cork City 1 Shamrock Rovers 2

After going a goal down early on, Rovers showed they will not give up their title without a fight as a superb display saw them outclass the home side for long periods and Stephen’s Kenny’s in-form team were full value for their win.

Cork boss Tommy Dunne had to plan without the suspended trio of Mark McNulty, Danny Murphy and Vinny Sullivan as his team showed four changes from the side that went down to Rovers in last week’s cup tie in Tallaght.
