Fenn: Rovers cup tie not a nuisance during survival bid

Cork City manager Neale Fenn 

While league points are the main objective as Cork City look to avoid relegation from the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, manager Neale Fenn doesn’t see tonight’s FAI Cup trip to Shamrock Rovers as a needless distraction.

The Rebel Army, currently bottom of the league table, go to Tallaght Stadium for a second-round tie (5.45pm), the first of two journeys to Dublin this week as they are away to Shelbourne on Saturday.
