Premium level tickets for Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

In order to entice more members for 2020, the club has purchased two Premium level tickets for Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Brian Mellerick got more than the price of his membership back in one single scoop, when he emerged from the draw, to be the recipients of the two tickets for last Saturday night, for the game between Cork and Tipperary. Brian made a good night of it, travelled up by train, and ate in the dining facilities at the ground. Brian said afterwards that it was a brilliant night, and wished to be placed in the draw for future tickets without hesitation, and would thoroughly recommend the experience.

It is hoped to encourage some more of our great supporters to become great members. Only by being a member can you influence the direction of your club.

Pay before March 2 to avail of chance to use club Premium Tickets for games in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

The next scheduled game is Cork V Down, on Sunday next, February 9. With Cork having played two games in the Allianz Division 3 league, and having encountere­d wins against Offaly and Leitrim, they will be hoping to carry forward that momentum in their quest to win promotion out of Division 3.

The Rebels’ relegation from Division 2 last season meant that Ronan McCarthy’s men are in Division 3 in 2020. Add in the introducti­on of the new Tier two football championsh­ip and there is even more pressure on Cork to earn promotion back to Division 2 instantly.

If Cork don’t finish in the top two in Division 3 after the seven league games, then they will have to beat Kerry in next summer’s Munster SFC semi-final if they want to compete in the all-Ireland championsh­ip. Otherwise, they’re consigned to Tier two.

It all means that there is a lot at stake for Cork in this year’s league, so support of the team is vital.

Support from the comfort of a Premium level seat adds to the experience.

Paid up members will be entered in a draw for free tickets to league and championsh­ip games in this venue., but you must notify the club PRO by the Friday preceding the game, to notify the club of your interest in the tickets.
