First Division Cork City provided the only shock of the first round of the FAI Cup this weekend with a sensational 3-2 win over Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
The Leesiders fell behind thanks to a Romeo Parkes goal in the 12
th minute before they would take the lead early on in the second-half thanks to a Dylan McGlade penalty.
That was of course after Beineon O’Brien-Whitmarsh levelled the game for Colin Healy’s side in the 28
th minute.
Parkes would level again minutes later with a fine before Dale Holland struck late to hand City a priceless cup win over the Bit O’Red to give his side some much-needed impetus ahead of the final series of games.
