Friday, 22 April 2011 16:41
CORK CITY returned to the top of the First Division after knocking five past Salthill Devon at Drom.
Salthill Devon  1  Cork City   5
 
Cork City scored five times for the second week running to ease back to the summit of the First Division table.
Devon started brightly at Drom, but Cork knocked the home side back on their heels to take the led on 40 minutes.
Assistant-player boss Greg O’Halloran arrived at the back post to meet Gearoid Morrissey’s corner and fire past Bernard Power.
Scarcely had Devon drawn breath and they were 2-0 down two minutes before half-time.
Shane Duggan was hauled down inside the area and Davin O’Neill swept home the penalty.
Graham Cummins, who hit a hat-trick last week, rowed in with the third 12 minutes into the second half.
Devon got a lifeline back into the game on 69 minutes when Cork had goalkeeper Mark McNulty sent off for taking down Daniel Rupa, Ciprian Straut scoring from the resultant penalty.
But Cork got a spot kick of their own six minutes later when O’Halloran was fouled by James Whelan. Cummins rifled home the penalty for his sixth goal of the season.
O'Neill added his second of the game with a tap-in three minutes into stoppage time.
