Former Hoop Daryl Kavanagh looked to have sent the Rebels to the final when he scored in the 88th minute, putting City 2-1 up on the night and 3-2 up on aggregate.
But the roles were cruelly reversed deep into stoppage time when Billy Dennehy, once a Cork City player, snuck a free-kick in off Mark McNulty’s post to give Rovers the win on away goals.
“In the 13 years I have been playing football last night is the biggest low I have had,” Cork defender Danny Murphy said this morning.
