Player of month Kearney aiming to clip Seagulls’ wings

CORK CITY resume their eircom League campaign against Bray Wanderers at Turner’s Cross tonight, boosted by the news that Liam Kearney has been named the eircom/SWAI player of the month for August.

Kearney, 22, beat off competition from a number of his Cork team mates to win the award for a second time.

The Soccer Writers recognised the winger’s instrumental role in City’s famous UEFA Cup victory over Djurgarden, as well the club’s continuing domination of the league during a month in which they drew with Waterford, beat Shels and lost to Derry.
