Cork City’s success another showcase for the League of Ireland

Cork City’s U19 boss Stephen Bermingham believes his side’s Uefa Youth League success will inspire more young players to remain in the country and play League of Ireland football.

Aaron Drinan’s 47th-minute penalty proved the decisive score as Bermingham’s side defeated HJK Helsinki 1-0 in their second leg tie to secure a glamour second round tie against AS Roma.

Bermingham was delighted to showcase domestic football in such a positive light.
