Following two crucial home wins, Cork City are back on the road as they travel to Galway to face Salthill Devon tomorrow.
Speaking ahead of the game, Cork City manager Tommy Dunne told CorkCityFC.net: “We are under no illusions- this will be a tough game, perhaps even tougher than our last two games. We are away from home, everyone will expect us to win the game; we are on a hiding to nothing really, so we will have to be very focussed if we are to win the game.”
City have a lengthy injury list going into the tie. Dunne named a number of players from the club’s Under 19 squad on the bench for the victory over Monaghan, and it looks like this will be repeated in Galway. The City boss said: “It’s great to have the Under 19’s available to us. They have been doing very well, and we brought a number of them into the squad. With the injuries that we have, it’s great to have had the option to bring the lads in. When they are performing well, they do well for their team and also know that it gives them the option of coming into the first team squad.”
Davin O’Neill (hamstring), Derek O’Brien (ankle), Gavin Kavanagh (back) and Gearóid Morrissey (ankle) will all miss the tie through injury. Greg O’Halloran (Achilles) and Neal Horgan (knee) are rated as very doubtful, while Dunne also has concerns over striking duo Vinny Sullivan (ribs) and Graham Cummins (dead leg), who both picked up knocks against Monaghan.
