A year of great expectations for Cork City

In a club and a city on the march, Cork City captain Johnny Dunleavy looks forward and back, says Neal Horgan.

Nothing great occurs without small talk. And the small talk around Cork at the moment, of course, revolves around the new event centre planned for the old Beamish & Crawford’s brewery. And then there’s the Albert Quay development ‘down by the Marina’.

And don’t forget the new bicycles and the ‘fecking’ bicycle lanes. (Well, you can’t please everyone). That’s quite a lot of positive change really for a city that has, like many others, struggled through a dark period.
