Hurley aims to make most of Cobh’s good form

Cobh Ramblers midfielder David Hurley feels the club’s FAI Cup second-round tie with Dundalk is coming at a good time – but not because of the Lilywhites’ upheaval.

Tomorrow’s clash at St Colman’s Park (5pm) is a first one in charge for new Dundalk manager Filippo Giovagnoli, who was appointed to replace Vinny Perth. Dundalk lost 3-1 at Sligo Rovers last week and in contrast Ramblers have won their two most recent games, 4-0 against Wexford and 2-0 against Longford Town, taking them to sixth, just outside the play-off spots.
