David Harrington in line to keep spot for run-in after impressing on Cork City debut

David Harrington could retain his place in the Cork City side for the remaining three First Division fixtures after keeping a clean sheet on his league debut.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper produced an assured display in Friday’s scoreless draw at Bray Wanderers, a result which confirms City cannot seal one of the four playoff spots over the last three games.
