Cork City’s success has been the story of a squad, a staff and a club – including the supporters

The club won its first in 1993, its second in 2005 and now, another dozen years on, they have done it for the third time – and, notwithstanding a recent wobble or three, the glittering prize is richly deserved.
This season, in contrast to their previous triumphs, there were no protracted play-offs or final night drama to keep the faithful chewing their fingernails until the very last ball was kicked.
