Donoughmore quartet out to add to medal haul against Southern Gaels

WITH the Munster and All-Ireland titles secured at inter-county level, four members of the Cork ladies football team bid to add to their medal haul when Donoughmore face Kerry’s Southern Gaels in today’s provincial club final at Carrigadrohid (3.30 pm).

It has been a long season for Juliette Murphy, Reena Buckley and the Barrett sisters, Aisling and Linda but one which has been richly rewarding. After the Rebels’ five in-a-row success over Dublin last month, the quartet quickly turned their attentions to the domestic front and helped guide their home outfit to a 12th Cork title.

But the players aren’t the only one serving a few masters. Coach Mossie Barrett began the year steering Cork to an All-Ireland JFC title; tomorrow he takes charge of the Cylda Rovers team who face Valley Rovers in the Cork Premier IFC final.
