Clinical Cork City cruise past Cobh Ramblers in the EA Sports Cup

Dominant for long periods, City were made to wait until shortly before half-time before taking the lead but, once they did so, they were never likely to be overhauled. Though Ramblers pulled one back at 3-1, a swift reply from City removed any doubts about the outcome.

They held that lead until half-time and it was to be doubled within three minutes of the restart. Tilley and Cobh’s Kabia both had speculative efforts on the resumption, neither really testing the respective goalkeepers, but on 48 Smith’s neat pass gave Nash space on the right of the area and he slotted past Hunt to give a sense of putting the game to bed.
