Parker chips in as Cork thrive despite red cards

Despite finishing the game with nine men, Cork City climbed to fifth in the Airtricity League Premier Division after a deserved 2-0 victory over a poor Bray Wanderers side at Turner’s Cross last night.

Ian Turner and Gearoid Morrissey were sent off in the second half but goals from Keigan Parker and Gavin Kavanagh saw Tommy Dunne’s side follow up Friday night’s 1-0 victory over Derry City with another three points.

Dunne had Daryl Horgan available again after suspension and he slotted back into the side, which meant Friday’s goal hero Garry Buckley had to make do with a place on the bench. The only other change saw Parker replace Davin O’Neill.
