Cork City ready for pressure from Shamrock Rovers

The fortunes of Cork’s soccer and Gaelic football fraternities could hardly be more different in recent weeks.

While Cork City sit top of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division going into this evening’s trip to Tallaght Stadium to face Shamrock Rovers (kick-off 5pm), Cork footballers are looking over their shoulders as they struggle to stay afloat in the Allianz League Two after being shocked by Clare.

Their form may be poles apart, but there’s a common enemy they both face, says Cork City boss John Caulfield.
