It’s not often that the winners of the First Division grab widespread attention. It’s rare that supporters of clubs in Ireland’s top tier are concerned about the team coming up next season. However, when one of Ireland’s top clubs is on the brink of promotion, people do start to take notice.

Tonight a Cork City victory over Galway United can seal promotion back to the top flight after a two-year absence, securing the title in the process. Even if they don’t complete the task against the Tribesmen, it is inevitable that City will win the division this year. Even Galway manager John Caulfield conceded the title last week.
