Battling Derry frustrate Cork City

Cork City 0 Derry City 0: Cork City dropped two valuable points in their bid to finish second in the Airtricity League Premier Division as Derry City earned a well-deserved point at Turners Cross last night to ease their relegation fears.

With the league title now looking beyond their grasp barring a remarkable and unlikely Dundalk collapse, Cork’s best hope of silverware is the FAI Cup, where they meet Bray Wanderers in Sunday week’s semi-final.

Cork boss John Caulfield will be hoping striker Mark O’Sullivan, nursing an ankle injury, recovers for that game as his side lacked potency in front of goal last night.
