Cork City in red to support county

CORK CITY FORAS Co-Op will wear their red away strip in tomorrow’s home Airtricity First Division fixture against Mervue United in support of Conor Counihan’s Cork footballers who take on Down in the All-Ireland SFC final on Sunday week.

In the past, Cork City, in its former guise, has taken out newspaper ads to extend the hand of friendship across the codes when GAA teams from Leeside have made into major deciders.

In its previous guise, Cork City briefly wore red in the late 1990s before reverting to the traditional green of Cork soccer in 2002.
