Do or die for Cork City as Dundalk wait to cash in

It might be the penultimate night of the league, but it could turn out to be the ultimate night for Dundalk, as the league leaders by one point travel to Bray with a chance to wrap up the title.

But even if Stephen Kenny’s team come out on top at the Carlisle Grounds, second-placed Cork City can still ensure the race goes to a winner-takes-all decider at Oriel Park next week by beating Bohemians at Turner’s Cross.

And there are other permutations. Anything less than a win for Dundalk would also set up a grand finale in seven days’ time as, of course, would defeats for both the Lilywhites and the Leesiders.
