High-flying Cork City race 12 clear

Cork City 2 Bray Wanderers 1: 11 wins out of 11 and now 12 points clear at the top: with a third of the season gone, Cork City’s astonishing 2017 just keeps on getting better and better.

An early Sean Maguire penalty set them on the way to victory over a Bray Wanderers side who had their ‘keeper Peter Cherrie to thank for keeping them in the game during a largely one-sided first half which had seen a rampant Cork create chance after chance.

But the second 45 was a very different matter, as the visitors came right back into the game and the home side seemed to lose their way, at least until club captain Johnny Dunleavy scored a second goal three minutes from time.
