Match Report

Fired up Cork win Munster derby

First half goals from Kevin O’Connor, Matthew Srbely, Ruairi Keating and Aaron Boger gave Cork City a routine 5-0 victory away to Treaty United.

The league leaders were far too strong for an out-of-sorts United, who failed to add to their point in Galway on Friday night.

Darragh Crowley adding the visitors fifth goal in the 81st minute.

It is a third league triumph over Treaty, all without conceding a goal. David Harrington had little to do in the City goal in a easier than expected win.

The league leaders were far too strong for an out-of-sorts United, who failed to add to their point in Galway on Friday night.  

Treaty United shuffled their side with three changes from their Friday’s stalemate in Galway. Giving Colin Conroy a maiden start, while Conor Melody and Joel Coustrain also got the nod from Tommy Barrett.

Cork made two changes, with Mark O’Mahony and Kieran Coates were replaced in the XI by Ruairi Keating and James Doona.

Kevin O’Connor opened the scoring when he hit a quality volley, at the back-post following a shot from a deflected shot. Treaty were asleep at the corner and Winn was flat footed as veteran O’Connor scored with his less-favoured foot.  

Srbely headed them two in front on 29 minutes with Conor Winn missing a cross from Cian Bargary. Ruairi Keating added another near the half, with Srbely turning provider with another right wing cross.

Aaron Bolger curled a beauty late in the half, from just outside the area. Cork were awesome, but weren’t near their best.

In an even second half, the hosts enjoyed things a bit better with some openings through Conor Melody and Jack Lynch. Despite that, Conor Winn gifted Healy’s side a fifth goal inside the last ten minutes. His clearance found Keating who fed the onrushing Darragh Crowley and the substitute finished with ease in front of a large travelling support.  

Cork boost their goal difference on a night they open up a four point gap on Galway United, who were beaten by Longford Town.

Treaty must re-group, as they’ve hung onto their play-off spot, albeit on goal difference after Wexford drew in Bray.

  • 81'

    Crowley on the scoresheet, as Winn clears straight to Keating, who squares to Crowley who taps home. Too easy.

  • 81'

    Crowley on the scoresheet, as Winn clears straight to Keating, who squares to Crowley who taps home. Too easy.

  • 70'

    Much more even game since half-time, apart from the obvious, the scoreline.

  • 58'

    Conroy into the book for a cynical foul in the middle of the pitch.

  • 53'

    Cork have had two more chances since the break with Cian Coleman going closest, firing wide when from inside the area. Coleman played here for Limerick FC in 2018.

  • 48'

    First chance for Treaty, as Conor Melody fires wide.

  • 44'

    An emphatic end to the half for City, who are barely out of 2nd gear. The ball is with Aaron Bolger who fires to the bottom corner, from just outside the area, weaving his way through the defense expertly.

  • 42'

    Srbely turns provider, whipping a low cross for Keating who taps home with Treaty all over the place at the back.

  • 36'

    Treaty with a burst in attack, Colin Conroy and Joel Coustrain heavily involved.

  • 33'

    Yellow for Cian Bolger, a very strong challenge on Joe Collins. Treaty looking for more than a yellow for that. Cork comfortable.

  • 30'

    Matt Srbely finds the net. He gets in at the back post with Winn unable to gather the cross. Great, inviting ball by Cian Bargary, and the 23-year-old heads home.

  • 25'

    Little to report here, other than the Treaty fans trying to outwit themselves with 'funny' remarks to the Gardai.

  • 20'

    Cork continue to hold much of the ball. Treaty struggling to build anything, with striker Dean George living off scraps.

  • 15'

    Kevin O'Connor opens the scoring. A fine delivery into box is only half cleared. A deflected shot finds its way to O'Connor who, on the half-volley sends the ball past Winn first time. He seemed more than happy to score with his weaker right foot.

  • 15'

    Cork spraying the ball around well and they win a corner through James Donna.

  • 8'

    Cian Coleman thunders into a tackle on Lee Devitt - two former Cobh men. Coleman gets a yellow card for being half a second late.

  • 7'

    Frantic opening around the middle. Treaty sitting deep and looking to play on the counter.

  • 6'

    Cork earn a free-kick through Keating. Kevin O'Connor takes and stings the gloves of Conor Winn.

  • Good evening from the Markets Field. It is getting cold here, on a wet day in the Treaty City. This is the third clash of the sides in the league this season, Cork have won the other two, aggregate of 7-0. This includes a 4-0 win here on March 18th.
