Super Cork City storm past St Pat's

Cork City 4 St Pat’s 0: At 1,778, the second lowest crowd of the season at Turner’s Cross spoke volumes for the dispiriting effects of back to back defeats in the league. 

But the faithless who stayed away last night missed a terrific performance by a resurgent Cork City as four second-half goals simply blew holders St Pat’s off the park and out of the FAI Cup and sent John Caulfield’s team roaring through to the quarter-finals.

“I asked the lads at half-time to lift it,” said the City boss afterwards, “and it was a great second-half performance. It was comprehensive in the end.”
