Cork keep pressure on

Cork City 2 Drogheda United 1

The Lilywhites might still be regarded as favourites to win the title on the basis that they have a game in hand and also a superior goal difference, but all John Caulfield’s men can do is maintain maximum pressure by continuing to secure maximum points.

Which is precisely what they did last night, goals from John Dunleavy and Mark O’Sullivan leaving former manager Damien Richardson with nothing but a warm welcome from the fans to show for his return to Leeside as Drogheda boss.
