It certainly looks
like John Caulfield Cork City Boss and company are playing a one of a kind
football, showing off a perfect 10-0 record.
With a league match
played today at the colossus of Inchicore, Dublin, Richmond Park, home of Saint
Patrick Athletic to play the league leaders and a red hot Rebel Army.
That so far these
have won all of their matches in tis nascent campaign and going into its third
month of play, the City chaps are looking unbeatable in the eyes of many of its
foes in the League of Ireland.
As squads of the
likes of Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk, Limerick, Derry City, Bohs and now their
hosts in Inchicore the Pats, with today’s win.
The City Boys are
spreading their overall lead of nine points over its closest chasers Bray Wanderers
and the league defending champions Dundalk FC.
After this win, the
Rebel Army catches all the headliners in the Emerald Island tabloids,
mentioning of this squad perfect start and looking like a tough foe to beat in
this edition of the SSE.
Despite of their
perfect campaign, the way this match developed as one tough one for the league
leaders as the local Pats played with an all-around inspiration and seeing their
chances dwindle in the second chance.
Other the way the
Super Pats defensive backfield was playing with a stingy attitude towards the
City strikers in Karl Sheppard, Stephen Dooley and Sean McGuire seeing their
efforts failed towards the posts of Connor O’Malley.
Still the visitors
managed to get some shoots across and their persistence in every minute of this
match passed by the league leaders were shaping off their game for the best and
looking for more options to open up the score.
The Pats opened up
the score by one of its own players in Josh O’Hanlon own goal in the 62 minute,
that gave the visiting City squad the lead.
For City and league
top scorer Sean Maguire, by drawing all type of attention from the Saints
defenders all evening long, his play became the key for the second score in the
game to Karl Sheppard.
With a shoot that
beat the Pats goalie O’ Malley in the 86 minute the go-ahead goal after going
blank and missing in several attempts, his efforts were rewarded and putting
the score of 2-0.
After the ninety
minute arrived, the official added four minutes in the clock to extend the
match and in injury time came the third, definitive, and go-ahead goal by Garry
Buckley to seal the deal.
A notable win but a
fought off one for Cork City that did had its difficulties with their hosts in
the first half that the Saints initial eleven went on the attack and trying in
vain to pressure the visitors and derail their game in its entirety.
At the end, the Boys
of Cork City and John Caulfield prevailed and netted a one of a kind win that
enables them to maintain their perfect run and solidifying their positon in the
top of the Aitricity League.
Being their next compromise
at home in Turner’s Cross Field to receive another hot streaked Bray Wanderers
to see if these can stop City winning streak at home.
One thing for sure
that City Boss Caulfield is aware of every match levels of difficulty coming to
them and the way many of its foes will be playing them to disrupt their winning momentum.
Still this squad in every match played their game improves for
the best, Bravo for the Boys of
the Cumann Peile Chathair Chorcaí!
