Cork City chase 12th win against Finn Harps
Figures released yesterday by the FAI show the runaway leaders also dominating the attendance charts — amid a reported overall increase of 17% per game across the two divisions compared to the same period last year — with City drawing the biggest average attendance (4,694), biggest individual match attendance (6,746, v Dundalk at Turner’s Cross) and the biggest total attendance (23,468) in the league. On the pitch, Cork have opened up a 12-point lead and this evening will be aiming to make it 12 wins out of 12 in the league as they welcome the side they beat 1-0 on the opening night of the season.
“Every week throws up different challenges for us and we are well aware of what a fantastic job Ollie Horgan has done at Finn Harps over the last few years,” says City boss John Caulfield. “Harps were everyone’s favourites to go down last year and Ollie arguably could have got manager of the year for the job he did there. Last season, they were a well-organised, resilient side but they have added attacking options.
