Cummins delivers for Cork City against St Pat's

A superb header from man of the match Graham Cummins five minutes into the second half saw Cork City return to winning ways and keep their 100% home record intact this season after a hard fought victory over a battling St Pat’s at Turner’s Cross last night.

After going down to Munster rivals Waterford 2-1 last week in an eventful encounter, the champions needed a win last night with title rivals Dundalk looking in ominous form.

And they were made work hard for the win against a Pat’s side who will count themselves unlucky not to have taken a point from the game. The home side still look to have more in the tank however, and were not at their best again last night but moved back up to second after Waterford went down at The Brandywell.
