CAULFIELD KEEPS CORK FIZZING AGAINST 10 MEN.CORK CITY 2 FINN HARPS 0 SUPER sub John Caulfield came off the bench to fire the second and vital goal that sunk Harps at Turner's Cross yesterday. Caulfield replaced Jason Kabia after 65 minutes and scored delightfully with his first touch four minutes later, touching home a right foot deflection after a cross from Mark Herrick. It was this second goal that subdued a Finn Harps team that had to labour with only 10 men after Eamonn Kavanagh was sent off for a controversial off the ball incident after only 23 minutes. Kavanagh's dismissal came just six minutes after Kelvin Flanagan had put Cork in front and the red card was flashed after linesman Jimmy O'Neill had called referee Dick O'Hanlon to the touch line to report on a clash between Kavanagh and Cork's teenage full back Greg O'Halloran Greg O'Halloran (born September 6, 1980 in Cork, Republic of Ireland) is an Irish footballer playing with Galway United in the FAI National League having signed from Derry City on Sunday 29th July. . O'Halloran briefly needed treatment for a split lip after the incident. And when the referee responded to the linesman's report by showing the red card, Harps protested so vigorously that fullback Pascal Vaudequin Pascal Vaudequin (born 22 September 1966 in Paris) was a French footballer who spent the most part of his career playing in the League of Ireland after falling in love with the north-western region. was booked. Overall O'Hanlon showed six players the yellow card - four of them to Cork - and he made several controversial decisions, not least when he denied Cork penalty claims after Gerald Dobbs was taken down by Gavin Dykes Gavin Dykes (born 2 October 1967 in Sligo) is a hefty and robust defensive footballer who played for numerous League of Ireland clubs, including Sligo Rovers, Finn Harps and Derry City F.C. In 1994 he captained Sligo to an FAI Cup win. in the penalty area after 72 minutes. Finn Harps manager Charlie McGeever said he did not wish to comment on the referee's decisions. He said: "I have to check out the statistics vis-a-vis the ratio between the number of matches Mr O'Hanlon has had involving Harps and the number of red cards we have picked up in that period over two years and put that together with a total number of red cards we have picked up altogether in the same period." Record Cork's win was their eighth on the trot in the championship and helped them maintain a 100 percent record but while they boosted their scoring rate to nine goals from their last three home matches they were not as fluent as usual. "It was very rough and tumble The first use of the term Rough and Tumble for fighting dates back to the early 1700s in the North American frontier. Rough and Tumble fighting was the original American No Holds Barred underground hybrid "sport" that had but one rule - you win by knocking the man out or making him out there," said manager Dave Barry For the English musician, see .

"Especially early in the game and fair play to Harps they made it very difficult for us." Harps should have made it even more difficult because they created and wasted a glorious opening as early as the sixth minute.

"Harps have a lot of experienced players in every section and they are a very good side," said Barry. "They have plenty of quality in their team." A double substitution by Barry succeeded in making the points safe as Harps tried to slow the game at every opportunity in the hope of snatching something late from set pieces. The goal came when Herrick flicked a ball between his legs to evade Dykes' tackle and then crossed accurately for Caulfield to score at the near post. "I do not think we were under the cosh that much," said Harps' manager McGeever. "We had our opportunities but we didn't put them away." |
