Thanks to all @corkcityfc.ie for featuring our good news in tonight's matchday programme! #ccfc84 🤍💚♥️
An article from the Cork City FC matchday programme titled "WHERE'S ME JERSEY?" with a green, red, and white layout. It features a photo of four people standing outdoors, holding a large donation cheque from FORAS for €10,163. The text details a charity jersey collaboration between football supporters trust FORAS and the rock band Sultans of Ping, which raised money for Down Syndrome Ireland Cork's Field of Dreams.

We dropped something into our friends at Field of Dreams Cork... all will be revealed tomorrow #CCFC84
A horizontal white sign stands on a dry, grassy lawn under bright daylight.
The left side of the sign features text reading "Down Syndrome Cork" in a purple arch over a colorful logo. The logo is a green and purple watercolor circle enclosing a silhouette of two people gardening, with the words "FIELD OF DREAMS" written inside in large, white, playful lettering.
The center of the sign reads "A partnership project with" in purple text.
The right side displays a circular blue and gold crest for the "Munster Agricultural Society, Est. 1805," which features three animal heads: a bull, a horse, and a sheep.
The sign is mounted on two grey metal posts. In the background, green trees, a metal shelving unit with potted plants, and the front of a white car are visible under a blue sky with light clouds.

FORAS is proud to support local grassroots football, including sponsoring a trophy at Friday's Girls' U13 Cork Large Schools Primary Final. The John Kennedy Perpetual Cup, named in memory of our great friend and stalwart member, will be presented to the winners. Best of luck to both sides.

Not heading to Kerry? Coughlan's will be showing the City match this afternoon - check out the new addition to their decor while you're there... 👀
This image features a vertical display of Cork sports and culture memorabilia against a light-colored, wood-paneled wall.
At the top, a framed red and black vertically striped soccer jersey is prominently displayed. It features the logo of the iconic Cork indie-punk band The Sultans of Ping F.C. across the chest, with the O'Neills brand mark and a crest above it. This specific jersey was a limited-edition charity release by the band and the FORAS supporters' trust to benefit Down Syndrome Cork. Directly above this frame is a classic circular red fire alarm bell.
Below the jersey hangs a smaller framed commemorative poster with the bold headline "CORK DOUBLE CHAMPIONS 1990." The poster honors the historic year the Cork GAA teams won both the All-Ireland Senior Hurling and Senior Football titles—a feat achieved by only a few counties. It includes team photos and detailed text celebrating the "Double." The setting is Coughlan's Bar which hosted the jersey's official launch.

This image shows the exterior of Coughlan's Bar, a traditional three-story red-brick building.
Ground Floor: Features a dark storefront with the name "COUGHLAN" in gold lettering. There is a large central window with black metal railings, flanked by two doorways. The entrance on the left is open, revealing posters inside. A stone base at the bottom is inscribed with "WINE AND SPIRIT STORE."
Upper Floors: The second and third stories are made of weathered red brick with decorative cream-colored stone accents around the windows. There are three sash windows on each level. Green ivy grows up the left side and hangs across the top of the pub's signage.
Surroundings: To the left is a white wall with various signs, including one for a "Heated Beer Garden." To the right is a plain grey building. The scene is set under an overcast sky on a paved sidewalk.
