Joe Redmond meets a corner but Corcoran is equal to his powerful effort in Cork City's goal.

Jamie Lennon finally get the goal his efforts have deserved and it\'s a strange one. He got on the end of a cross from Mulraney on the counter at the far post. Doesn\'t get the best of connections as it appears to have come off both himself and the Cork defender to loop over Corcoran in the Cork net. Might need to watch that one again to see what actually happened.

Cork are really struggling to build any momentum here. Tommy Lonergan has replaced Eoin Doyle. Can he find his first Pat's goal this evening.

Jason McClelland has doubled the Pat's lead with an excellent effort from distance. A deflection takes the ball past Corcoran.

Cian Murphy comes into the action to replace Krezic who was lively in the first half.

Aaron Bolger tests Lyness from long range. Cork are getting chances but they're all from long range. Will need to work the ball closer to goal to have a chance of a result tonight.

Lyness gathers another corner under pressure. He's making this look easy.

A bright opening to the second half for both teams with both keepers being called into action but nothing overly worrying.

And we're back underway in Richmond Park.

HALF TIME: St. Patrick's Athletic 1-0 Cork City

Another fine ball from Sam Curtis towards Jake Mulraney but the goal scorer just can't get on the end of it as he collides with Corcoran who's been impressive so far despite conceding the goal.

Ruairi Keating almost gets Cork level as he latches on to a long ball. Lyness advanced and Keating lobs the ball from 25 yards. The underside of the cross bar comes to the home side's rescue as the ball bounces down off the post.

Corcoran in all sorts of trouble at the set piece as Jamie Lennon almost connects at the back post. Cork eventually clear after a scramble in their box.

Great work from Mulraney to dispossess Bolger and drives down the left wing. Finally gets his cross blocked out for a corner.

Aaron Bolger dumps Jake Mulraney to the ground with a thumbing tackle. Game delayed as we're having a quick shin guard fix here.

Jay McClelland has a great effort from 25 yards, Corcoran gets down to his left quickly to push it back and Eoin Doyle just misses the rebound to convert. Cork can breathe another sigh of relief here as Pat's are growing more and more into this game.

Lyness is at it again. A whipped corner from Cork is picked out of the air by the Pat's keeper, showing his quality in the opening stages of this game.

Pat's are ahead, a quick counter attack across the entire pitch resulted in a bit of pinball. Eoin Doyle finally cuts the ball across the box and Jake Mulraney slots the ball into the bottom corner from around the penalty box.

Crunching tackle from Krezic in midfield give Pat's a free kick. He's letting Pat's know he's come to play.

Pat's almost make the breakthrough with a lovely ball from Curtis puts Jamie Lennon in but his effort just goes inches wide of the keepers near post.

A clash of heads has caused a pause to the action here as a player from each side get attention in the Cork box after a collision at a corner.

What a save from Lyness to get the game up and running here. Big chance for Cork as a ball to the corner was headed towards goal at the back post by Krezic, but the goalkeeper keeps the effort out with his feet before smothering it at the second attempt.
