Cork City win seventh game on the bounce

Longford Town 0 Cork City 3: Mark O’Sullivan was sprung from the bench and duly made a major impact as Cork City produced a seventh straight league win to consolidate second place in the Premier Divison table at City Calling Stadium.

The result was a little harsh on Longford, who remain bottom of the table without a win now since the opening night of the season, as they had teenage defender Tristan Noack-Hofman sent off in the first half before which they looked relatively comfortable.

While the first half performance from Cork was down the gears, the second was much better with the result, and clean sheet - their fifth in six league games - setting up nicely Friday’s visit of champions Dundalk to Turner’s Cross.
