Hoping a stellar season ends on a high

It was a moment made for A Season of Sundays. After Cork got over the line against Galway in the All-Ireland camogie semi-final, a heartbroken Aoife Donohue knelt crumpled on the pitch.

She’d had an enterprising game, coursing up and down the field from her corner-forward position and chipping in with four points. But despite not scoring for 28 minutes in the second half, Cork gritted their teeth and held on.

Pivotal to their defence of their slim lead was midfielder Ashling Thompson, who dropped deep and helped fill the gap left by the injured Gemma O’Connor.
