MANAGEMENT TEAM VIEW

Cabinteely First Team manager/Director of Football Pat Devlin is expecting a tough tie against the Leesiders.
“It’s been a mixed bag for us in the last couple of games against Treaty and Wexford. Overall, our performances have been very good. Hopefully, we can carry that in the game against Cork, because they are a very good side.”
He continued “It’s going to be very tough. They beat Cobh 4-1 last week. You can’t take anything for granted. We will be giving them all the respect that they deserve. But we will be doing our best to win the game.”
