I travelled up to Tallaght Stadium with about 300 fellow Cork City faithful fans and in good voice cheered on the team but with Daryl Horgan getting a point from six yards out and City hitting the post, missed chances would come back to bite us.

He pulled inside passing the Sligo left back to take a shot which took a deflection off one of the Sligo centre backs to hit the back of the net with the keeper going the wrong way. [Read more...]
