Cork City stifled by Patrick’s Athletic

St Patrick’s Athletic 0 Cork City 0: Cork City maintained their unbeaten start to the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division campaign when drawing 0-0 with 10-man St Patrick’s Athletic at Richmond Park last night.

However, the visitors will rue not availing of their numerical advantage for the final 15 minutes following the dismissal of Saints full-back Lee Desmond.

City arrived in Inchicore four points clear of their opponents but started largely on the back-foot with Christopher Forrester firing wide in the 8th minute following a lively counter-attack early on.
