Shamrock Rovers 6 Cork City 0
With Graham Burke bagging a famous five goals, Shamrock Rovers made it back to back Premier Division wins with this embarrassingly easy victory over a Cork City side who were already two goals behind when, on the stroke of half-time, any hope of the visitors mounting an unlikely comeback was removed with the sending off of Deshane Dalling on what was his full debut for the Rebels.
Yep, skilful player. Remember this?

P.S. The 5-goals video is on the 'Will Patching' thread
His goal vs Villa away was pretty memorable.Quote:

Listening to the radio this morning, the City fans are not so happy!
Graham Burke has had two shots at English football but seems to have come up short both times, with us and Preston. No lack of ability but perhaps struggled with the intensity of the game here. Back in Ireland he seems more confident and prolific, much like Vinny Arkins was. As with so many sports it's all about levels, and you never quite know who can or can't make the step up until you try them.
Was that Conor Clifford playing for Derry last night,the one that came to Notts on loan from Chelsea?
Yes that’s him, 4 Irish clubs in 4 years. Has become a real journeyman.
I see rumours of PNE buying out Cork in midweek due to money troubles
