City rediscover winning feeling with cup victory

Cork City overcame last Friday’s horror show at home to Bray Wanderers to record an impressive 4-0 win and book their place in the third round of the EA Sports Cup at Wexford Youths last night.

First-half goals from Ian Turner and Shane Duggan set City up nicely, with Danny Furlong, against his former club, securing the Leesiders’ progression with a second-half brace.

Sligo Rovers had an easy night at the office, beating 10-man Mervue United 4-0 at the Showgrounds. An early Anthony Elding penalty, after Barry O’Mahony saw red for the visitors for a handball on the goal-line, sent the Bit O’Red on their way before a second from Evan McMillan on the hour mark made the result safe.
