You don't need this match for that. Both Cork and Shels are better than Galway, Drogheda and UCD. Maybe St Pat's - Bray kinda level (probably better than them most days)Quote:

I believe Derry are going to play a weakened team in the league to save players for the League Cup :oQuote:

Did Vinny Escude play today? How has he been doing with Cork?
MOTM today. First time seeing him properly, as he hasn't been getting too many starts. Started today as O'Sullivan was out. Put in a good performance too obviously.Quote:

However hes lost in a 4-4-2.
City were the better team today and deserved to win, however not by a large margin. We competed well with Pats and ccreated the better chances. They had large spells of possesion but didn't create a whole lot although Mark McNulty made one very good save in the first half and a match winning double save at the death.
Shels 1-0 Sligo HT

Shels 1-2 Sligo.
94th minute goal for Sligo and two sent off for Shels.
3-0 Derry at the Bowl
We were very, very lucky tonight. Poor first half. Shels scored with their first shot and we probably had had only one shot ourselves before that. Shels should have scored a second before we as they were catching us on the break a lot on the second half. I think Shels probably just got tired towards the end as once we scored we were pretty much all over them. Thought the ref was going to blow full time when Foran was making his run before he was fouled for the winner. Great free kick by Richie Ryan. Didn't think the straight red was justified. Rough tackle but thought a yellow would have been a right decision and just blow full time.
Thought it was Garry Glitter myself.Quote:
