Limerick boss McDonald: Pressure all on Cork City

SSE Airtricity League: Limerick manager Neil McDonald insists “the pressure is all on Cork” as he prepares for his first Munster derby at Turner’s Cross tonight (8pm, live on eirSport2).

“It’s really good to go and play the champions-elect. It’s going to be a very, very difficult game for us to play away from home. But we’re not going in with a defeatist attitude. We’re going to try to upset, try to create and try to win the game,” McDonald told LimerickFC.ie.

“The pressure is all on Cork. When you’ve won 16 out of your 17 games, you’re expected to win. Everyone keeps on telling me this is a Munster derby, so it’s important we try to perform well against the top team in the league, and if we can get some points that would be fantastic. It would give us huge confidence for the rest of the season.”
