Have to say as a Turners Cross virgin, I was really impressed with the showing from Cork City, good atmosphere, great open game of football, it could easily have been 4-4 and thought both sides really deserved something from the game.
Would also like to congratulate Cork City on what was an excellent Match Programme, the entire match day experience has been captured very well by City, and I would like to offer Pat Dolan and Brian Lennox, and all their staff and volunteers, a heartiest congrats, (I did say this to Lennox on my way out the gate, hope he didn't think i was a mad opposition fan ranting) but just thought i should offer credit where its due, Cork are a credit to the eircom League and its clubs.
From a Vikings point of view the improvement in the last eight days has been outstanding, Shaun Byrne, Adam Rundle & Keith Rowlands showed their class, Ronnie Henry looked a little out of it in the first half but came back well in the second, a couple more matches and he could be an excellent signing.
Toccy was good in the centre, along with Scott Friel who i thought was outstanding in the centre, we did get caught out with the long balls over the top to Doyler and Kearney a fair few times though.
I personally thought the game was exciting to watch, had to scored the penalty it would have been a completely different game, but according to a number of Cork City people i spoke to directly after the game, they thought we could stay up, and after tonights performance was excellent, Carlton Palmer and two strikers to add into the mix should make next weeks clash with Drogheda extremely interesting.
