Rovers add to City’s woes

Cork City 2 Shamrock Rovers 2 (Shamrock Rovers win 3-3 on away goals)

Cork City have earned an unwelcome reputation in the league this season as the team which just can’t get over the line, shedding points like confetti through the serial concession of late goals.

And now the same flaw has cost them a place in the final of the Setanta Cup as, with what was virtually the last kick of the game in a disbelieving Turner’s Cross, former Cork City man Billy Dennehy found the net to make it 2-2 on the night, 3-3 on aggregate, and send Shamrock Rovers through to the decider on away goals.
