Horgan opts for GAA in fixture dilemma

GAELIC football has won out over soccer in an agonising battle for Cork City defender Neal Horgan’s sporting affections this weekend.

Cork City host Shelbourne tonight in Turner’s Cross in a key top-of-the-table clash in the Airtricity League First Division as Tommy Dunne’s charges, currently in second place, seek to make inroads into Shelbourne’s 10-point advantage.

But they will have to plan without their experienced defender Horgan as he is involved with St Finbarr’s as they face city rivals Na Piarsaigh in the fourth round of the Cork senior football championship tomorrow afternoon.
