Cork City FC is expanding its academy and the new base will be deep in West Cork GAA territory.

The Rebel Army are looking to develop West Cork's hot bed of sporting talent by setting up in O'Donovan Rossa GAA, Skibbereen. While the town is most known for its strong football history, the town also boasts a strong soccer club, Skibbereen AFC, which is based on the Baltimore Road.
