Greener pastures for Cork City after ‘slog in the bog’

After last week’s slog in the bog in Ballybofey yielded a 0-1 win over Finn Harps, Cork City are hardly expecting a walk in the park against Galway United this evening but they will certainly be hoping for less onerous conditions when they host their first home game of the new SSE Airtricity Season at Turner’s Cross.

Although Galway fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Drogheda United on the opening night, City boss John Caulfield reckons Shane Keegan’s side could have been three or four goals to the good before the break but for poor finishing.

“Galway have lots of attacking options and we’re well aware of the threat they pose,” he said.
