Garry Buckley: Why wouldn’t you want to play for Cork City?

Reaching the League of Ireland summit is one thing, staying there another.

Cork City will know just hard that is in 2018 when they look to back up the first double in the club’s history and the question as John Caulfield’s players celebrate Sunday’s FAI Cup defeat of Dundalk is how many of them will be there come the new campaign.

Karl Sheppard seems destined for a move to Dundalk and Greg Bolger is among a handful of others who seems to have the option of continuing their careers elsewhere, but Garry Buckley is confident in the club’s ability to cope regardless of comings and goings.
