Mayo ladies provide stiff test as Cork face first semi-final

AFTER steady progress at under-age level and in club competitions, Cork appear to be in a position to challenge for honours in the TG4 All-Ireland ladies senior football championship.

Tomorrow in Portlaoise (2.30pm) they take on former champions Mayo in the first of the semi-finals, with Dublin and Galway clashing in the other.

Cork’s advancement is reflected this year in first-ever successes in the National League and Munster and their debut appearance at this stage of the championship.
