Cork City boss Liam Buckley feels his side still have a “lot to play for” despite a “dreadful” showing against Dundalk at Oriel Park on Monday night which all but condemned his side to the lottery of a relegation play-off to retain their top flight status.

City never got going as they slumped to their heaviest ever defeat against the Co Louth side in a game which finished 5-0.
