I’ll play in goal if I have to, says fired-up Greg Bolger

Cork City midfielder Greg Bolger will be hoping to show his mean streak to Dundalk as the league leaders meet the champions in a crucial top-of-the-table clash at Oriel Park tomorrow night after declaring: “I’m not nice when I’m on the bench.”

A combination of injury and the form of Conor McCormack saw Bolger lose his place in the starting XI. Bolger has returned to the City midfield in recent weeks, however, in a more advanced role. The Wexford man is enjoying his football again and eager to face the Lilywhites.

“I was unfortunate to get injured for four or five weeks,” said Bolger. “I’m just getting my games now and I love it. To be on the bench is not nice and I’m not nice when I’m on the bench.
