Report: Two late goals from James Mulligan and John Cotter put Cork City on a high at Terryland Park last night before they face into tomorrow’s FAI Cup replay against Longford.
Mulligan broke the deadlock when he rammed home a close range 79th minute shot after his initial effort was blocked down by Galway goalkeeper David Forde.
And Cotter added to Galway’s misery when he side stepped Forde after Pat Morley provided him with a neat pass on the break in the last minute.
It was rough justice for a Galway side, who matched City for most of the game but just did not have the fire power to trouble the visitors. It could have been a lot different had Eric Lavine not shot wide of an open goal after City keeper Michael Devine was caught stranded in the 66th minute.
But three minutes earlier Cork might have gone in front, when Galway mid fielder Bobbie Ryan headed an Ollie Cahill corner off his own crossbar.
Galway, bidding to make amends for their disastrous FAI Cup defeat to Kilkenny, had to start without injured captain Scott Morgan.
There was further bad news for the home side when striker Stephen Grant had to be withdrawn due to a recurring head injury after 16 minutes.
Cork striker Pat Morley troubled Galway in the early stages, but as the first half progressed the home side applied most of the pressure on the visitors.
Michael Devine had to make a good save to deny Billy Clery after 18 minutes and Caulfield was forced to clear a Tom Silke header off the line three minutes later.
Cahill was guilty of a bad miss on the half hour after collecting a Steve Gaughan cross.
