There had been lingering uncertainty in recent times as to the future of the Cork City Sports, but that great cornerstone of Irish athletics is once again back on its marks for its 71st edition at the MTU Athletics Stadium this evening.

Among the Olympians leading the home charge are Cork athletes Phil Healy and Nicola Tuthill, while Eric Favors, Cathal Doyle and Marcus Lawler will also be hoping to impress as they look towards the Tokyo World Championships in September.
