Blues youngster Matt Healy struck a spectacular winner for his loan club Cork City as they won 1-0 away at Galway United last night.

Healy, 20, smashed into the top corner from 25 yards to seal three points for the Leesiders, who are now top of the League of Ireland First Division table (Irish second tier).

The goal was the midfielder’s fourth for Cork, who are managed by unrelated ex-Town man Colin Healy, in 11 starts and three sub appearances and was by no means his first impressive strike.

Midfielder Healy joined Cork in January and in May his spell was extended to the end of the Irish season in October.

It’s understood Town have taken up the option for a further season included in the one-year contract Healy signed last summer.

emergencylime added 10:33 - May 28 Cork have taken top spot off Galway with that win. If he keeps this up, he could be a good option post-WC break.

Len_Brennan added 16:09 - May 28 I know it's a low enough level of football, but the quality of those strikes is good no matter what league it is. Kind of reminds me of what Scott Twine was doing while with Swindon, and he certainly had more in his armour when he stepped up to a promotion chasing side.

WhoisJimmyJuan added 16:31 - May 28 Agreed Len. One such strike would not be significant, but 3 might hint at a special talent whatever the level.

algarvefan added 20:13 - May 29 Good strikes and something missing from our first team squad, who knows the future, but I would like to see a few of our young guns make it. Fingers crossed for the lad.
