Cork City facing tough test in Galway

Having dropped points at home to Wexford Youths, the pressure is on Cork City to make goal chances count in Eamonn Deacy Park tonight where Galway United, third in the table to City’s sixth, are yet to concede in the league.

Cork’s first team coach, John Cotter, concedes that the Rebels had a “disappointing” start to the game against Wexford at Turner’s Cross and, even after belatedly getting into their stride, it took a late goal from Mark O’Sullivan to salvage a point.

“We gave the initiative to Wexford,” he says, “but from the second half on, with the chances we created, the tempo we played at was a lot higher, and on another night we could have had a few more goals — but you have to take those chances.”
