Cork City maintained their perfect start to the season with a 4-1 win over an out-of-sorts Sligo Rovers at The Showgrounds.

An opening goal from Graham Cummins was quickly followed up by a spot-kick from former Rovers man Kieran Sadlier as Cork raced into a commanding lead.

Cummins grabbed his brace during the opening stages of the second half. Adam Morgan did give Ger Lyttle's side hope just short of the hour mark when he found the net from 12 yards after Caolan McAleer was taken down by Alan Bennett in front of goal.

However there was little doubt of the result when John Caulfield's charges made it 4-1 at the death as the rampaging Cummins completed his hat-trick when he latched on to a cross from Shane Griffin.
