Kavanagh proves point with brilliant away goal

Daryl Kavanagh proved his point at Tallaght Stadium with a brilliant away goal as Cork City drew 1-1 with Shamrock Rovers in their Setanta Sports Cup semi-final, first leg.

Danny Murphy’s own goal gave Rovers a 38th minute lead. But Kavanagh, who didn’t play as much as he would have liked in his spell at Rovers last year, rifled in a stunning equaliser to put Cork in the driving seat to reach the final ahead of next Monday’s return.
