Cork City finished their SSE Airtricity League Premier Division title-winning season on a high as they narrowly defeated Bray Wanderers 1-0 at Turners Cross on Friday night.
Conor McCormack’s strike midway through the first half was enough to separate the sides and earn the Leesider’s their first win in the league since defeating Finn Harps in Ballybofey on the 21st August.
The goal itself came in fortuitous circumstances as Bray’s Jason Marks, under pressure from Kieran Sadlier, sliced the ball into the path of McCormack and he expertly slotted the ball into the net from close range.
Sadlier, who was later awarded man of the match, went close to scoring on numerous occasions but was denied thanks to a fine display from Wanderers keeper Peter Cherrie. But City eventually saw the game out in what was a tame second half and will now look to complete the league and cup double when they take on Dundalk at the Aviva Stadium Sunday week.
