Finn Harps are back in action tonight as they host Cork City at Finn Park – and we’ll have live updates throughout the game.
Full-time – Finn Harps 0-1 Cork City
90+5 mins – Tony McNamee gets his free over the wall but it’s gathered by Mark McNulty. FH 0-1 CC
90 mins – We’re into five minutes injury time. FH 0-1 CC
88 mins – Decent response from Harps. Dave Scully gets into the area but his shot isn’t strong enough to beat Mark McNulty. FH 0-1 CC
78 mins – Cork have been reduced to 10 men as Stephen Beattie has just picked up a second yellow card, this time for a foul on Adam Hanlon. FH 0-1 CC
69 mins – Goal for Cork City. It’s a penalty from  Sean Maguire, who sends Ciaran Gallagher the wrong way. Paul Tuite, the match referee, penalised Josh Mailey for a coming together with Garry Buckley. There were boos from the home support at the award. FH 0-1 CC
62 mins – Â After a period of Cork pressure, Ruairi Keating gets away down the right and his cross-cum-shot worries Mark McNulty in the visitors’ goal for a spell and shaves the top of the net on its way over. FH 0-0 CC
[adrotate group=”82″]54 mins – A Garry Buckley shot from the edge of the area takes a deflection off Barry Molloy – who challenged – and Ciaran Gallagher does well to backpedal and tip the ball over the crossbar. FH 0-0 CC
45+1 mins – Half-time: Finn Harps 0-0 Cork City
40 mins – Â Alan Bennett rises highest in the Harps penalty area at the Town End to head over a corner from Stephen Dooley but it’s over the crossbar. Then, a shot from Greg Bolger is harmlessly wide. FH 0-0 CC
37 mins – Good strike cutting in from the left wing on his right foot by Adam Hanlon. Got plenty behind it, although it was comfortable for Mark McNulty. FH 0-0 CC
28 mins – Â Harps won’t like reminding of the fact that it’s now 700 minutes since they last scored a goal, if you include the 21 minutes from the postponed fixture at Sligo Rovers. They’re battling gamely enough tonight and would love to put an end to that scoreless run. FH 0-0 CC
26Â mins – Adam Hanlon finds a moment of space at the edge of the Cork City box but doesn’t get sufficient purchase on the shot and it drags wide. FH 0-0 CC
22 mins – Dave Mulcahy blocks a shot from Ruairi Keating following Dave Scully’s pass into the area. From the corner right afterwards, Michael Funston sees a shot blocked and Ethan Boyle’s attempted cross fails to beat the first defender. Better from Harps. FH 0-0 CC
[adrotate group=”38″]20 mins – Gearoid Morrissey’s shot takes an awkward swerve right as it approaches Ciaran Gallagher but the Harps goalkeeper re-adjusts his feet to get enough behind the effort to keep it out. FH 0-0 CC
17 mins – Decent cross by Stephen Beattie of Cork, but Packie Mailey manages to clear at the second attempt after Ethan Boyle’s first bite at the cherry. FH 0-0 CC
11 mins – Harps getting into Cork with a few eager challenges. Neither goalkeeper tested just yet. FH 0-0 CC
4 mins – Action underway here at Finn Park. Cork in all red doing the early pressing. FH 0-0 CC.
