Cork City FC are delighted to announce that, for the first time, both the club\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams will play their first team fixtures in Turner\u2019s Cross Stadium in the 2021 SSE Airtricity League season.<\/p>\n
As has been the case for many years, the men\u2019s team will play the majority of their fixtures on Friday nights at 7.45 pm, while the women\u2019s team will play their fixtures at 2 pm on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the news, \u00c9anna Buckley, Operations Manager of Cork City FC, said: \u201cThe news that our women\u2019s team will play their fixtures at Turner\u2019s Cross is a very positive and welcome development, both for ourselves and for the league as a whole. When we suggested moving the women\u2019s fixtures to Turner\u2019s Cross, the Munster Football Association were very receptive to the idea, and it was simply a case then of working out the logistics. I would like to thank Barry Cotter and his colleagues at the Munster FA for their assistance in making this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTurner\u2019s Cross has been synonymous with Cork City FC for many years, and we are delighted that both of our senior teams will now call it home. We all long for the day that fans can return to stadia in their numbers, and I am sure that our wonderful support will be right behind both of the teams as soon as they get the opportunity to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Welcoming the news, Cork City Women\u2019s manager R\u00f3n\u00e1n Collins said: \u201cThis is something that we had been discussing internally for a while, and we are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of playing at Turner\u2019s Cross in the 2021 season. It\u2019s a huge step for the club, women\u2019s football in the area and even the WNL as a whole to be playing in a venue like Turners Cross.\u00a0 The one club mentality at City is really pushing on women\u2019s football and as a club we can be very proud of what we are building.\u00a0I know it will be a real shot in the arm for the players, and we are very thankful to everyone at the club and the MFA who have made this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Administrator with the Munster Football Association, Barry Cotter, said: \u201cWe are very pleased with this news, which will see the Cork City\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams play in Turner\u2019s Cross for the first time. We are very proud that Turner\u2019s Cross is seen as the home of football in Cork, and this reaffirms that once again. We are all now looking forward to the 2021 season, as we welcome Cork City back to Turner\u2019s Cross, and we hope it will not be too long before we can welcome supporters back, and games involving our local leagues here as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
