Former Cork City midfielder scores in one of few games played in English leagues

The game was suddenly thrust into the spotlight following a controversial decision by the National League to play when the rest of the world was announcing postponements because of the coronavirus.

Former Cork City midfielder Gavan Holohan enjoyed his moment in the limelight as he scored for Hartlepool United in one of the only football matches not to be postponed over the weekend, but admits the experience was a weird one.

Holohan, who spent two seasons in Cork between 2015 and 2017 as well as playing for Watford, Drogheda United and Galway United, celebrated signing a new two-year contract at the National League club by scoring his ninth goal of the season in a 1-1 draw at Sutton United.
