Inniscarra’s got a winning feeling for Croke Park

INNISCARRA isn’t so much a place as a feeling and, lately, that feeling has been jubilant. The parish, eight kilometres or so from Cork city is home to about 7,000 souls but, right now 33 of them are the ones who really matter.

They make up the panel of players on the village’s camogie team. Having beaten the Ulster Champions, O’Donovan Rossa, in the All-Ireland semi-final, only Connacht champions Killimor stand between the mid-Cork team and glory at Croke Park tomorrow.

“It has been a fantastic and exciting year,” says team captain Margaret Noelle O’Sullivan, who works as a solicitor with the firm PJ O’Driscoll in Cork. “We won six cups so far and there is only this one coveted title to secure. It has all come together for us after the disappointment of last year.”
