HULL CITY’S DAVID Meyler was in the wars last night as they suffered defeat to Arsenal at the KC Stadium.

    There’s a real buzz at the cross again. Let’s hope more people get out and support their local LOI team.

    First visit to the cross in 3/4 years, brought my young lad age 7 along for his 1st visit. He thoroughly enjoyed, think that’s my Fridays night sorted for next few months . Great atmosphere, great win.

    Fair play for bringing your child, letting him experience live football firsthand. I just wish more parents were like you.

    Buzz is certainly back in Cork football.The City u19 side who won their 3rd title on the bounce last week , paraded the trophy at halftime, and then entered the famous Shed and joined in the choruses of Championez. Special times at Turners Cross.

    Hopefully although a very small crowd at the St. Pats game. I don’t know was this because it was shown live but for the champions to get just over 1,300 at home to last years runners up is extremely disappointing.

    Let’s hope the score sees fit to increase the profile of LOI by entering the category to the “scores” section

    They must have heard you as they’re listed now. I always thought the Score did include them. In their defence, they give excellent coverage to the League and exposure to a wider audience.

    Good to see Cork doing well. Always enjoyed away trips down to the Cross.
