In 1984, the football scene of the Republic of Ireland witnessed the promising birth of a new team, christened Cork City. To this day, they continue to proudly play their home games at the respectable venue of Turners Cross Stadium.
Over the years, the squad has grown and diversified, currently comprising of 40 players all competing for their spot on the pitch. Yet they share a common characteristic - the team has a relatively youthful energy, with the average age of the squad being a sprightly 23 years; one might say it's a team flush with potential.
Today, in the relentless pursuit of prestige and victory, Cork City have found themselves contending in two separate competitions this season. They've shown a respectable performance in the Premier Division, sitting currently at the 10th position. Alongside this, they've put up a solid fight in the FAI Cup, having managed to advance to the second round of the tournament.
