Cork City 'City News' Vol 10 No 12: Cork City v Shamrock Rovers, 5 December 1993 matchday programme — champions against leaders at Bishopstown; Damien Richardson in charge

'City News', matchday magazine of Cork City F.C., Vol. 10 No. 12, £1. Cork City v Shamrock Rovers, Bord Gáis National League Premier Division, BISHOPSTOWN, Cork, Sunday 5 December 1993, kick-off 2.15pm. Match sponsor Gilabbey Chemicals.

The masthead reads LEAGUE OF IRELAND PREMIER DIVISION CHAMPIONS 1992/93 and the cover portrait is 'In top form at the moment, City keeper PHIL HARRINGTON' (E. O'Hare, Cork Examiner).

Chairman PAT O'DONOVAN bills it as 'the most vital game in the League Championship so far this season. The clash of the Champions and the League leaders has caught the imagination of the fans.' He is honest about the arithmetic: 'Our last two results have kept us in second place but a massive eight points adrift so nothing less than a win for City today could spell curtains for our aspirations of retaining our title. It's going to be one hell of a task as Rovers are bang in form and playing more like champions every week.' On the new ground: 'the ongoing developments here at Bishopstown should ensure Rovers are also suitably impressed. There is of course much more to be done but it all takes time and money.'

The directory names DAMIEN RICHARDSON as manager with Alek Ludzik assisting, Guinness as major sponsor and Adidas for playing gear; LOUIS KILCOYNE is listed as vice-president of the FAI and a member of FIFA. Editor Ray Hennessy; MC Pat McAuliffe of RTÉ Cork Local Radio.
