Mick Neville's brief stint as caretaker manager of Shelbourne ended in defeat, albeit on penalties, and Cork City took third place in the Super Cup yesterday.

The home side, expected to name a successor to Damien Richardson within the next 24 hours, equalised shortly before the break with Dessie Baker cancelling out a 17th-minute strike from Jason Kabia. Despite a late effort from Tony Sheridan, the hosts were taken to penalties but lost 4-1.
