Cork City bid to keep pressure on rivals Dundalk

With only four games left to play and four points separating the sides, Cork City and Dundalk are back in league action tonight as the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division race enters the final fortnight of a fascinating season.

City bounced back from last week’s defeat to Dundalk with a 2-0 victory over Finn Harps on Friday night and another three points is imperative tonight against St Pat’s at Richmond Park (7.45pm) if they are to maintain their slim hopes of catching Stephen Kenny’s side.

John Caulfield’s charges turned in a magnificent second half display earlier this month at the same venue as they qualified for the FAI Cup final and the City boss will be looking for more of the same as they enter into back-to-back games with St Pat’s.
