John Caulfield wary of Sligo as Cork City bid to keep heat on Dundalk

Cork City will be looking to keep the heat on champions Dundalk when they visit the Showgrounds to take on Sligo Rovers this evening (7.45pm).

The match comes a day after it was confirmed City’s potentially decisive clash with the leaders, originally scheduled for September 2, will now take place at Oriel Park on October 11, with kick off at 7.05pm. The match will be screened live on RTÉ 2.

Meanwhile, Cork go into tonight’s game on the back of a winning streak of six in all competitions but, while Sligo’s last outing was a 4-0 mauling away to Bray Wanderers, John Caulfield needs no reminding Dave Robertson’s side inflicted a costly defeat on his team at Turner’s Cross in August.
