The loss all but condemns Cork to the relegation play-off.
A SCREAMER FROM Ronan Boyce was a fitting winner to clinch European football for Derry City and leave Cork City staring into a relegation play-off.
The loss all but condemns Cork to the relegation play-off as they lie six points behind Sligo Rovers with two games to go and a goal-difference deficit of 12 in Sligo’s favour. Ruairí Keating entered the game in a three-way tie at the top of the golden-boot standings and he had the ball in the Derry net in the 34th minute. Damien Mac Graith’s whistle had already sounded, however, as Cian Bargary hadn’t kept the ball in play before his pull-back.
Both sides made triple changes in a bid to change the game but it was Boyce’s moment of individual brilliance that broke the deadlock.
