Cork City, a football team of reputable standing, was founded in the year of our Lord 1984. An Irish outfit, they grace the hallowed turf of Turners Cross Stadium for their home matches, found in the Republic of Ireland, far removed from the tumult of the Glaswegian Old Firm clashes of yesteryears.
Boasting a squad of 37 eager and ambitious players, the team pulses with the fervour of youth, brandishing an average age of a mere 22 years. They are young lads, in the prime of their ability, emulating deeds performed in leagues and clubs through the breadth of the United Kingdom and beyond.
This season finds Cork City splitting their efforts between two separate competitions: firstly, their national Premier Division, where they currently languish in 9th position, a standing they doubtless hope to improve upon; and secondly, the FAI Cup, where they have braved their way to the Second Round. Their campaign continues, each match a stepping stone towards either victory or defeat, the stakes high and the pressure palpable. This is the lifeblood of football, and the zealous partisans of Cork City wouldn't have it any other way.
