Cork City stun the champions

Dundalk 0 Cork City 1: It’s definitely game on in the 2016 league season.

A day which began well for Stephen Kenny, with the news that he has signed a two-year contract extension, ended in bitter disappointment as he watched his champions Dundalk fall to a penalty from their former player, Sean Maguire.

For John Caulfield and Cork City, this was a hugely significant victory as they finally got the better of their ultimate bogey team — and away from home too, the first time the Leesiders have prevailed at Oriel Park in seven years.
