Win puts Cork within point of leaders

Cork City 2 Waterford United 0

Champions Cork City moved to within a point of leaders Drogheda with an all too comfortable win in this Munster derby.

John O'Flynn made an immediate impact on his return from injury to put Cork in front after just nine minutes.

Colin O'Brien picked out the run of O'Flynn who made space to fire a right foot shot past Shane Dunphy.

Cork sealed their second home win on the spin with a brilliant second goal on 59 minutes.

Neal Horgan and George O'Callaghan worked two one-twos down the right and Neal Fenn knocked the ball back for Denis Behan to head home.

Blues finished with ten men when defender John Hayes was sent off for a second booking three minutes from the end.
