A dual jewel

Briege Corkery, along with her Cork colleague Rena Buckley, is on the verge of claiming the highest All-Ireland medal count in GAA history, not that she thinks about such things. There might be life left in the dual star so – and there’s certainly plenty of life in this one.

She’s not counting. Or if she ever was, she’s lost count.

Ask Briege Corkery where she reckons she stands in the roll of honour of All-Ireland medals and she “thinks” herself and Rena Buckley are on the same as Mary O’Connor before them at about the 13 mark.
