Cork City ‘out to get’ Saints, says Conor McCarthy

To say Cork City have had their patience tested by the Saints this season would be putting it mildly. In a season of soul-searching at the Cross, St Patrick’s Athletic have been a constant torment.

On the opening night of the season, Mikey Drennan’s spot-kick gave St Pat’s a 1-0 win over Cork at Richmond Park. In April, the 10-man Saints sneaked a point at Turner’s Cross thanks to Dean Clarke’s last-minute effort — a blow coming just two weeks before the departure of John Caulfield as City boss.
