Eoghan Stokes hoping to get City firing in Munster derby

You have to go back 88 days to find the last time Cork City ended an SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match with three points. Summer has come and gone since, and alarmingly, a mini-revival by Finn Harps in the meantime has left the 2018 league and cup runners-up looking over their shoulders.

That’s why tonight’s Munster derby against Waterford — another of the league’s underachievers — at the RSC takes on added significance.
