Monaghan unlikely to repel Rebelettes’ four-in-a row march

FOR the all-conquering Cork Ladies Footballers, tomorrow’s TG4 All-Ireland SFC final against Monaghan represents, arguably, the most serious challenge they have had to face in recent years.

However, while they are justifiably favourites to make it four-in-a-row under inspirational coach Eamonn Ryan, they have reason to be wary.

Cork coasted through their semi-against Tyrone, but this came after a less than impressive display against Galway in which Elaine Harte’s goalkeeping and Valerie Mulcahy’s goalscoring proved crucial.
