CORK CITY’S UNBEATEN record came to an end at Turner’s Cross tonight as George Poynton’s 62nd minute penalty gave Bohemians the honour of being the first to defeat John Caulfield’s side in the league this season.
Poynton was successful from the spot after Ismahil Akinade was fouled by Conor McCarthy and the result means that the sixth-placed Gypsies move to within a point of Bray Wanderers.

While City never hit the heights, it was still a game that they could have won and before the goal there were chances for Achille Campion and Garry Buckley as they looked to up their game following a lacklustre first half.
Even then, the Rebel Army could have been in front at the break as Karl Sheppard was denied by good Shane Supple saves on three occasions, but Bohs had good opportunities of their own too, with Mark McNulty needing to make good stops from Ciarán O’Connor and Akinade.
On the resumption, Greg Bolger’s great ball for Campion was headed just wide, and the striker drew a good save from Supple on the hour-mark. After the goal though, they found it tougher to break Bohs down, and McNulty had to be alert to prevent O’Connor getting on th end of Dinny Corcoran’s cushioned header.
