Steely Cork City show stuff of champions in win over St Patrick's Athletic

Cork City 2 St Patrick’s Athletic 0

Chances were few and far between for both sides, the first one coming in the 12th minute when a Kevin Taylor effort was saved by St Pat’s goalkeeper Eric Donnelly.

The Leesiders dominated possession in the first-half but couldn’t make it count as the visitor’s defence, spearheaded by Rory Feeley and Nathan Benson, was alert to a dangerous Cork City frontline. Conditions deteriorated dramatically on the restart and both sides struggled in the wind and rain.
