Basically, Cork City FC and the Cork Schoolboys League have announced a new agreement which will see the Cork Schoolboys League u16 team operate as the Cork City FC development squad.

Quite a big move for City. Hopefully, it'll allow us to spot young talent and sign them before the English clubs do.

there was talk of this a while back. we need to have a third team in the u18 age group to meet the uefa licensing requirements and this is probably the best way of doing it without ruffling too many feathers

this is a positive move..good to see

[fonzi]

good move. very good.
for far too long there hasnt been a strong tie between underage and senior sides, so i think this could be great news indeed

agree, it can only be a positive development for the club.

excellent news. this is a big step in the right direction. and to think only a few years back we were letting leicester in on our patch. how things have changed :)
