Cork City make it seven wins from seven with victory over Limerick
CORK CITY romped to a three-goal win over Munster rivals Limerick in this provincial derby at the Market’s Field tonight, writes.
City led 2-0 inside 33 minutes with goals from top scorer Seanie Maguire, his seventh in seven games, and Garry Buckley with his first league goal of the season.
It was two-nil at the break and then in the opening minute of the second half Gearoid Morrissey drove home a left-footed scorcher low into the bottom corner of Brendan Clarke’s net.
Limerick did well in the opening passages of play but City’s two goals took the sting out of the SuperBlues and quelled the 2,989 attendance.
On a night when Dundalk beat Drogheda 3-1 and Derry came for two goals down to get to 2-2 but lost 3-2 in the end to Bray Wanderers at McGinn Park – the Leesiders maintained their 100% record and stay six points clear at the top of the SSE Airtricity League.
