UCD: 2, CORK CITY: 1

John Caulfield headed Cork City into the lead after 11 minutes against UCD at Belfield yesterday

John Caulfield headed Cork City into the lead after 11 minutes against UCD at Belfield yesterday. But Cork's lead lasted just three minutes with Jason Colwelt pouncing on a poor defensive clearance to strike with an exquisite volley.

Further flaws in the Cork defence were exposed on the half hour when goalkeeper Jody Byrne was left stranded from a James Keddy cross with central defender Tony McDonnell diving in at the far post and injuring himself in the process.
