Morrissey on song as vital goal sends City soaring to the top
The champions had struggled to get the measure of their great rivals in the first half but, in front of a crowd of 6,672 which included Roy Keane, Morrissey’s well-struck volley in the 59th minute, combined with a resolute defensive display, was enough to give John Caulfield’s team a significant victory which was rapturously received by the majority inside a jam-packed Turner’s Cross.
For the home side, Shane Griffin’s absence through injury opened the door to what would prove to be a memorable league debut for Danny Kane at left-back while once again Kieran Sadlier had to be content with a starting place on the bench where he was joined by Steven Beattie who was available after suspension.
