Cork City's Doherty expected to return for Cobh clash

Doherty's imminent return to the side will provide the City management with an array of options up top, but it's an area of the pitch the Rebel Army have yet to show a real cutting edge in.

Cork City striker Jack Doherty looks set to recover in time for Friday night's First Division derby with Cobh Ramblers at Turner's Cross.

Doherty - the league's joint top-goalscorer - missed the draw away in Wexford on Monday having limped out of the Athlone Town victory three days earlier with an Achilles injury.
