Cork City manager Paul Doolin is upbeat ahead of his side's trip to Derry, as he looks to get his first win as Rebel Army boss.

A draw away to Sligo and a defeat at home to St. Patrick’s Athletic mean the Rebel Army have only one point to show from their opening two games, but manager Paul Doolin believes his side have been unlucky not to have got more out of their opening two games.

Speaking ahead of the journey north, Doolin said: “Everyone knows that facing Derry City at the Brandywell is a tough task. Derry are a decent team, they have signed some good players over the close season and they have started well. To be fair to ourselves, I feel we should have got something out of both games we have played so far. Against St. Pat’s last Friday we conceded a bad goal early on, but I think we dominated the game after that and I think we deserved to get something out of the game.”
