Clancy ready to 'just deal with' whatever is thrown Cork City's way 

The Irish winter has dragged on into the spring and we find ourselves without First Division or Women's National League football at Turner's Cross "indefinitely" due to necessary pitch repairs.

Much of the playing surfaces afforded to League of Ireland clubs will have been tested to the max on occasion over the decades. 

Yet this season - which kicked off back in February, and will run through the summer and well into the autumn - has so far been a washout, and as a result, has caused those surfaces to be stretched to their very limits.
