Kelly and Corkery honoured with top football and camogie awards

WEXFORD’S Kate Kelly and Cork’s Briege Corkery were yesterday named the Vodafone GAA Camogie and Ladies’ Football Players of the Year for 2007.

Camogie Association President Liz Howard, Ladies Football Association President Geraldine Giles and Vodafone’s Head of Corporate Affairs Rosemary Steen, honoured the two players at the awards function in Dublin’s Westbury Hotel.

Kelly was honoured for her leadership as Wexford ended a 32-year wait for All-Ireland senior glory, defeating a Cork team containing dual player Corkery in the All-Ireland final.
