Julia White was Cork’s All-Ireland hero as she scored the winning point in last September’s camogie final. Having just returned from a series of injuries in time for the semi-final, she’s hoping this weekend for a first All-Ireland series start since 2015.

Former Cork ladies football-winning manager and current Cork senior football selector Eamonn Ryan has paid tribute to retiring legend Rena Buckley, describing her as an excellent role model for young people who showed it is possible to be successful in both study and in sport, while also having a good life socially.

It’s the end of an era for us. Rena hanging up the inter-county boots is a sad day.

“I wouldn’t like to count all the All-Ireland medals in this room,” remarked Joan O’Flynn, Camogie Association chief executive, as she began proceedings at a lunch honouring Rena Buckley’s record-breaking career at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday.

THE couple standing in front of me both wore red coats against the blustery evening. No accident, I’m sure; even their terrier sported a red and white collar. 

They christened a bridge after Christy and bored a tunnel in the name of Jack, so surely it’s time to re-name the Inniscarra Dam in honour of the local legend, the most decorated player in GAA history?

Cork camogie keeper Aoife Murray described Sunday’s one-point win in the All-Ireland senior final as “the best drug ever — if you could bottle it we’d be very rich people”.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The current group of Cork players are in new territory tomorrow — in many ways, writes Valerie Mulcahy. 

Cork manager Ephie Fitzgerald remains unsure about the availability of 11-time All-Ireland winners Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley for the coming championship season.

Mental fortitude. That’s their secret. Or part of it, at least.

Ciara O’Sullivan was present at GAA headquarters for the first three of Cork’s All-Ireland final wins, standing in awe as Juliet Murphy lifted the Brendan Martin Cup September after September after September.

There was no arguing the toss with Tina last night, least of all the crowd that happily sang along to her chorus of “Simply the Best” as the bus bearing the Rebelettes rolled down South Mall.

Briege Corkery has launched a scathing attack on both the ladies football and camogie associations over their treatment of dual players.

Far removed from the main Air India commemoration in Ahakista, a number of people prayed in a Cork city cemetery yesterday to ensure two victims were not forgotten.

Only a handful of people know the existence of the only burial plot in Ireland of two of the Air India disaster victims, and one man has lovingly tended it for 30 years.

All-Ireland-winning Cork camogie manager Paudie Murray says “the sooner the Camogie Association and LGFA merge with the GAA, the better”.

You may recognise the name but not the face while the scale of her achievements has probably been lost on you as well.

Niall Cahalane is no stranger to the tension that comes with involvement on the big day, having starred for Cork and Castlehaven at the very highest level through the ‘80s and ‘90s.

TG4 ALL-IRELAND LADIES’ SFC FINAL:

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.

Blind dates arranged by agencies are popular with people who are too busy to socialise, but what’s a match in a computer database may not be in real life, says Roisin Burke.

Ten years ago, Rena Buckley was the youngest starter in Cork’s first Division 1 National League final, aged just 17.

A poignant television documentary is set to feature the triumphs of, and the challenges faced by, people with Down syndrome.

It’s the magical sight of children being entranced by the age-old symbol of Christmas that lights up the eyes of a grandmother celebrating a special anniversary this year.

I BECAME aware of senior dating when I started working with Bryan D Segar.

BEFORE captaining Cork ladies’ football team to all-Ireland victory last month, Rena Buckley had to get over a disappointment.

Coming from anyone else, it could sound a little hollow. After all, Cork’s Rena Buckley has a perfect record in All-Ireland football finals heading into Sunday’s latest one against Kerry.

When your medal shelf is bustling like Briege Corkery’s, it can be difficult to remember each and every win.

DENIS WALSH fully accepted Cork County Board’s decision not to reappoint him as senior hurling manager adding that the results during his reign were “unacceptable”.

RENA BUCKLEY’S mantelpiece needs just one more bauble to be complete.

WE wish to express our deep gratitude to the members of the fire service in Clonakilty and Bandon for their professionalism and prompt action in tackling a fire at our home last weekend.
