Walsh says hard work lay foundation for victory

CORK’S all-conquering ladies footballers will be more intent on celebrating their latest success in the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship over the next few weeks than thinking about next year and the motivation to make it five-in-a-row.

However, while jubilant captain Angela Walsh has no doubt that they will take on the challenge, she pointed out yesterday that a lot could depend on all of the players being able to give a continuing commitment to the team.

“Hopefully Eamonn Ryan will continue, but there’s nothing set in stone yet. We’re going to meet in six weeks or two months time and we’ll see then what the story is like then. Right now we’re not thinking of five-in-a-row, but we’ll certainly enjoy this win.”
