Second-half blitz secures Munster derby spoils for City

Cork City 3 Waterford FC 0

Despite being outplayed for much of the first half, John Caulfield’s side still went in for the break a goal to the good and then showed just how clinical they can be as they wrapped up the win in some style, and avenged April’s defeat to the same side at the RSC to remain hot on the heels of leaders Dundalk.

There was to be no repeat of the mayhem which tarnished the end of the game at the RSC when Waterford came from a goal down to defeat City and four players and the two managers were red-carded. But the game didn’t lack needle with both sides battling for every ball and referee Rob Rogers having a good game without brandishing many cards.
