Cobh Ramblers moved to within five points of the top three in the First Division of the eircom League on Saturday night as they secured a 3-2 win over Kilkenny City at Buckley Park.

Kilkenny, struggling so often this season, made a fight of it but fell to an injury time winner from Cobh's Darren Murphy.

Gareth Cambridge put Cobh ahead after just nine minutes. Graham Cummins had been instrumental in setting up the first goal and he got the second on 57 minutes, punishing a defensive error from Kilkenny.

Conor Buckley headed in from a corner just one minute later to give the home side some hope. Gary Deegan fired Kilkenny level with just over ten minutes remaining and it looked as though the Cats were going to pick up a rare point.

More weak defending though cost them and Murphy nipped in to make it 3-2 just after the 90th minute.

Kilkenny City : Cashin, Wong (Lenny 65), Sweetman, Lestrange, Tiernan, King, Deegan, Buckley (Fitzsimons 82), Mulvey (Murphy 90), Brophy, Higgins.
Cobh Ramblers : Holden, Carey, Meade, Murray, Breen, Coleman, Warren, Murphy, Yelverton, Cummins (O'Neill 84), Cambridge (Bruton 67).
