Boss hails character as Cork win rollercoaster to go top

Needing a win to move back to the top of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, the Rebel Army — searching for their fifth straight league win since drawing 0-0 with Derry City at the Brandywell – looked to be in firm control. However, one win in the five games since then hadn’t dulled Derry’s endeavour and they continued to put it up to their hosts.

They had a goal back as Rory Patterson flicked Doherty’s goal kick on for Ronan Curtis and he marked his final game before moving to Portsmouth with a low shot past Mark McNulty from outside the area on 65 minutes.
