The first team from Cork to compete in the competition won a league and cup double. One player to stand out from this squad was John Kavanagh, whose performances earned him a call-up to the senior team in October 2011 for a league game against Monaghan United.

Buckley also made a number of appearances in the Champions League and Europa League for Cork City.
