Rebel Army Appoint Galvin as Manager

In a shock statement at Beamish House today Cork City Football Club have revealed rookie Kevin Galvin as new manager

"It really is a dream come true, I can't believe it. I've always supported them as a boy and know the current crop of players very well, it's amazing to get the job so young and I can only hope that I can make us proud this season"

City start with a depleted side this season, they lost John O' Flynn in the close season and have a strict budget to start with.

"The lack of budget will make it difficult this season but we can only hope for the best"

City started their season with a draw against Wexford Youths (1-1) a loss to Athlone Town (4-3) and a win against high-flyer's Dundalk (1-0), their next game is against former league champions Shelbourne at Tolka Park
