Cork City hoping for a Dundalk ‘hangover’

Cork City hope they find Dundalk suffering from a European hangover of the ‘what did I do last night?’ kind when they take on the champions and league leaders in a much anticipated top of the table clash at Oriel Park tomorrow (6pm).

In second place behind the Lilywhites in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, the visitors go into the game looking for a fifth league win on the trot that would cut the gap at the top to just three points.

Says City first team coach John Cotter: “These are the games you want to be involved in, a top of the table clash. Dundalk are a good side, they’ve been top of the table most of this year and they have good players, and I have no doubt they will respond (to going out of Europe).
