Monday’s rousing 4-4 draw at champions Shamrock Rovers underlined Cork City’s readiness for their top-flight return, according to Colin Healy.

Rovers have been the dominant force of Irish football since City began enduring problems from their relegation in 2020 but Healy’s Rebels became the first side in five years to rattle the Rovers net four times in a league game.
