A frustrating night would ultimately turn into a monumental night for Cork City Football Club as news of Galway’s loss soon filtered around the huge crowd and they were happy to hold on for a 0-0 draw which would be enough to see them claim the league and their return to the Premier Division for the first time since 2020. Roared on by a passionate crowd of 6,035 and attacking their favoured Shed End in the first half, City dominated proceedings for large spells but they just couldn’t find a way to break the deadlock. Surprisingly, a 0-0 draw with Wexford at Turner’s Cross proved to be enough for Colin Healy’s side to secure the First Division title and, with it, their place back in the top-flight of Irish football following Galway United’s loss to Athlone Town.

Then the moment the home support craved came in the 69th minute. In keeping with a tense end to a glorious campaign for Colin Healy's side, it was a nervy night.

The frustration didn’t last long amongst the home faithful though as news of Galway’s 2-1 defeat to Athlone meant that if City didn’t conceded then they would be champions. Stephen Walsh gave Galway the lead after just two minutes but they couldn't build on that early goal and Adam Lennon levelled 16 minutes later before a goal from Thomas Oluwa with ten minutes to go, ensured that Galway will have to go through the play-off route if they're to be promoted. Colin Healy, who was serving the second of his three-game touchline ban, made just the one change from his side that was beaten 2-1 by Galway United in their last outing three weeks ago as Jimmy Corcoran replaced the injured David Harrington in goal.
