SHAMROCK ROVERS WARMED up for Thursday’s Europa League glamour tie against AC Milan with a comfortable 3-0 win over Cork City.
The victory sends them eight points clear at the top of the table ahead of second-place Bohemians.
Cork City, meanwhile, remain ninth in the table, though they could go bottom if Finn Harps win their game in hand against Derry tomorrow.
The league leaders went ahead in the 17th minute, as Aaron Greene expertly headed home Ireland international Jack Byrne’s pinpoint cross.
