Indeed, with a notable
2-0 win over a troubled Bray Wanderers squad, the Rebel Army quest for
perfection continues, by not knowing the meaning of defeat in league play.
With a shortened
schedule in the league of Ireland, this due to several of its squads international
play.
Sunday’s match filled
with perfection once again and seeing City delivered back-to-back wins, today’s’
match in Bray showed off the mettle and audacity this squad is showing off its
one of a kind football.
This wins assures the
Cork squad a much needed push after their recent lost in Europa League to AEK Larnaca
at Turners Cross Field, were Caulfield and company will try to do the impossible
and return the favor away in Cypress.
Still do not count
this squad out of contention despite seeing a couple of its notable players in
the league top scorer in Sean Maguire and Kevin O’ Connor both leaving for their
new adventure in English first division football.
As today’s league match
against a trouble Gulls squad, the City Boys delivered with another score via
the overall scoring leader of this association, Sea Maguire opening the score
for City in the 13 minute.
No later in the
second half another Cork notable Jimmy Keohane put the icing on the cake and
scored the go ahead and winning goal for a perfect laden afternoon in the Gulls
Grounds and top deliver another clean sheet for Mark McNulty.
The win extends City
lead atop the table with 61 points and fifteen points lead over Dundalk FC.
This is not over yet
and for Maguire next appointment with destiny and last match as a Leesider at
AEK Arena will be one of his most memorable in his career if he pulls an all-around
miracle and delivers his last contribution.
The next rounds pass
before moving on to Preston North End.
Despite their first
loss in the campaign and especially a squad that does not give in so easily and
playing one amazing football in the campaign, their shutout over Harry Keane
squad was a shoot of optimism ahead of their international compromise.
Still this match was
not a walk in the park for Caulfield and company but a resilient and heroic backfield
played with such spirit and desires to not allow the home side any liberties to
its game they are comfortable playing.
This game did not
come easy for the visitors as the locals despite their troubles, these played
one good match of football and never let their guard down until Maguire and Keohane
deliver and the rest is history.
Now for Cork its mission
impossible to the isle of the Mediterranean and deliver a comeback punch to
seal their pass to the next rounds and continue on their European dream and company
to the Dublin side the Hoops.
So far, in five months,
the rebel army has just conceded two points to a draw to Galway United but the
perfection in Airtricity League of Ireland continues intact for the Leesiders.
