City lead the charge as five Cork clubs follow cup dream

A right Corker of an FAI Cup weekend is in prospect with no less than five clubs from Leeside taking part in first round games between today and tomorrow.

Cork City lead the parade as the holders, of course, and begin the defence of the crown with a tricky game away to Bray Wanderers this evening.

“We won the cup last year and we want to get another run going this year,” says City boss John Caulfield. “There is a bit of magic about the cup. We know that from being in the Aviva last year and the year before. It is a one-off, there is always a buzz about it and we know how good Bray are, so we will need a top performance.
