Maybe you want to have a look at this kinda tutorial I wrote some months ago for other people having the same problem:

It does not match your problem perfectly, but you might understand how the added route works.

BTW: Every route that you add must go after the default_controller and 404_override route. And watch out to take the correct apostrophes - PHP uses quotation marks and no apostrophes
