Camogie player, Briege Corkery, at ease on both playing and farming fields
It was a wild, wet and wintry December morning when I arrived on Michael Bateman’s farm in Crookstown, Co Cork, in search of Briege Corkery. But alas Briege was nowhere to be found. At least, that is, nowhere in the vicinity of the house.
And so, bracing myself for the elements, I headed up to the yard, seeking the 17-time All-Ireland winning football and camogie star and, sure enough, I soon find her up to her armpits in work. In oil skins, drying off cows, and generally in the thick of it.
