Teenager Colin P O'Brien was the Cork hero yet again as City scored twice

Cork City 2 Shamrock Rovers 1

Teenager Colin P O'Brien was the Cork hero yet again as City scored twice

inside the last 10 minutes to make it a fourth win on the spin and prevent

Rovers from reclaiming the leadership of the table.

Rovers took a freak lead after five minutes when a cross from Sean Francis

sneaked into the net off Michael Devine at the keeper's near post.

City didn't level until 80 minutes when Kelvin Flanagan drove home a

penalty after Greg Costello handled.

O'Brien then side-footed home the winner in the final minute after Flanagan

flicked on Neal Horgan's cross.
