WATCH: Rousing reception for Cork champions

If it was the UEFA Champions League, the Brendan Martin Cup would long be a permanent fixture Leeside because the Champions League trophy becomes the property of any club that wins the competition five times.

To give Cork Senior Ladies’ Footballers their dues, no other team in the country has come anywhere close to their magnificient achievement of six All-Ireland wins in a row and 11 in 12 years.

They’re the kind of team that make superlatives hard to come by, populated by unstoppable dual stars like Rena Buckley and Briege Corkery, with Rena named Player of the Match on account of another outstanding performance for her county on Sunday.
