Hartigan is Cork’s goal hero
by Colin Graham
Dundalk 1 - 3 Cork City
Oriel Park
CORK CITY manager Liam Murphy sprung a surprise by recalling Noel Mooney in place of regular goalkeeper Michael Devine for a rare League start.
Mooney has played just a bit-part role for Cork since Devine’s arrival from Waterford United last season.
Mooney’s return was one of five changes to the side which started the League Cup win over Cobh Ramblers last Monday.
Meanwhile, David Hoey was brought back for Dundalk in place of the banned Donal Broughan while the other switch to the team which began the League Cup reverse to Drogheda United saw Ger Robinson lose out to make way for the fit again David Crawley.
Dundalk opened brightly with James Keddy going close with a free-kick before Cork carved good chances through Anthony Buckley and Ollie Cahill.
And the visitors broke the deadlock on the half-hour when Conor O’Grady lashed home after Dundalk failed to clear a Cahill corner.
The game went flat after the break with scoring opportunities few and far between but Cork managed to add a second goal on 72 minutes.
Cahill dispossessed Aaron Callaghan and squared the ball for Noel Hartigan to control and fire in.
Hartigan added another goal six minutes from the end when he headed in after Cahill’s shot was blocked by goalkeeper John Connolly.
Dundalk pulled a goal back a minute later when Ger Robinson ran on to a long ball before beating Mooney.
Dundalk: J Connolly; Hoey, Callaghan (Robinson 73 minutes), McGuinness, Crawley; Prizeman (Dunne 67), Kavanagh, Melvin (Lawless 78), Keddy; Reilly, Ward.
Cork: Mooney; Carey, Coughlan, Daly, Horgan; Flanagan (Bennett 36), Buckley, O’Grady, Cahill; Hartigan, Mulligan.
Referee: J McDermott (Dublin).
