No let-up from Cork City

Cork City 2 Finn Harps 0: After the disappointment of Tuesday night in Dundalk, Cork City rekindled their slim title hopes with a hard fought victory over Finn Harps in atrocious weather conditions at Turner’s Cross last night.

The monsoon like conditions made a mockery of the game at times during the second-half but goals either side of half-time keep City within four points of Stephen Kenny’s champions, who easily saw off Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght.

City felt they didn’t do themselves justice against Dundalk on Tuesday, especially in the first-half, and they were eager to return to winning ways and keep the pressure on Dundalk with only four games remaining after this one.
