Cork City's Ryan makes Preston sweat

Preston North End took a deserved victory at Turner’s Cross last night, but an outstanding performance from Cork City goalkeeper Tadhg Ryan ensured the Championship side had to earn the win.

A crowd of 1,470 was present for this Cork Airport friendly but, with the focus on Thursday night’s Europa League clash with Progrès Niederkorn of Luxembourg, City had a team composed of fringe players and U19s.
