Dean Jarvis strikes as Derry overcome Cork in extra time

Cork City 1 Derry City 2 (after extra-time): A Dean Jarvis goal six minutes into extra-time saw Derry City come from a goal down to qualify for the EA Sports Cup semi-finals after a hard-fought victory over Cork City at Turners Cross last night.

It was Derry’s second victory over Cork this season following their league win at the Brandywell in March and it was just about deserved against an understrength home side.

Just as he did in the previous round, City boss John Caulfield rang the changes for this one making no less than nine changes from the side that defeated St Pat’s on Friday night, with only John Dunleavy and Kevin O’Connor starting.
