Valerie Mulcahy: When I heard of Bríd Stack's AFL move, I thought ‘why didn’t I think of that?’

It's great for the Cork contingent to have an interest in the Australian Football League and have representation, with the bonus that it hasn’t impinged on the Cork ladies football team who contest Sunday’s All-Ireland final on December 20.
Bríd Stack, a player who developed into one of the most dominant centre-backs in ladies football, playing every minute of the 11 All-Ireland finals Cork contested since 2000, amassing an incredible seven All-Star awards and a Player of the Year award in 2016. Not to mention Munster titles and league titles in what has been a stellar career in the Cork jersey.
