City eager to finally get over line

It will be one small step for the Cork City players to cross the white line at Dalymount Park tonight, but one giant leap for the club if they can beat Bohemians.

City require just two points from their final four games to clinch the 2017 League of Ireland title and, such is their commanding position at the top of the table, they could even do it in defeat tonight should Dundalk execute a giant stumble at home to Bray Wanderers.

Anything less than victory for the Lilywhites at Oriel Park and the glittering prize will be southbound, not that City want to be relying on favours elsewhere.
