Cork City 'City News' Vol 11 No 17: Cork City v Dundalk, 15 January 1995 matchday programme — FAI Bord Gáis League Cup Final FIRST LEG at Bishopstown; souvenir programme
'City News', matchday programme of Cork City F.C., Vol. 11 No. 17, souvenir programme £1.00. Cork City vs Dundalk, FAI BORD GÁIS LEAGUE CUP FINAL, FIRST LEG, BISHOPSTOWN, Cork, Sunday 15 January 1995, kick-off 2.15pm. Cover: the League Cup behind the two club crests.
Editor RAY HENNESSY sets the tie up with an editor's candour about the competition's standing: 'Though it may be the poor relation in contrast to the other major National League competitions I expect today's League Cup Final to be contested as fiercely as any other and an exciting cup tie is on the cards between two of the leading teams in the National League.' He gives the records — 'Dundalk have a fine record in the League Cup, appearing in seven finals and winning the trophy on four occasions. City on the other hand have made only one final appearance and won the trophy on that occasion' — and signs off: 'remember after today's game it's only half-time. Next Sunday the destination of this season's FAI Bord Gáis League Cup will be decided at Oriel Park.'
The directory names NOEL O'MAHONY as manager with Alek Ludzik assisting, and lists LOUIS KILCOYNE as PRESIDENT of the FAI. Referee Dick O'Hanlon of Waterford. Guinness and Adidas sponsors.
The second leg was played at Oriel Park the following Sunday; Dundalk's programme for it recalls 'Pat Morley's late winner in an ill-tempered first leg at Bishopstown'.
