City will be going flat out, pledges Murray

Cork City make their return to the Setanta Cup at Turner’s Cross this evening, with Danske Bank Premiership leaders Cliftonville travelling south, and the Leesiders’ new captain Kevin Murray insists the hosts will be not be holding anything back despite it being their first competitive outing of the year.

Cliftonville are 12 points clear in their own league and heading for an unprecedented four-trophy haul, but with four weeks to go until the Airtricity League kicks-off, Murray says Cork will be going full throttle for the win.

“From a League of Ireland point of view, it’s a great competition to have at this time of the year. It’s a proper competition and like any other, we won’t be holding back, we want to go out and win it,” he said.
