End of an era as Red Hands crush Cork’s six in-a- row bid

TYRONE blew the race for the TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC wide open at Banagher on Saturday as they claimed a sensational quarter-final victory against All-Ireland champions Cork.

The Red Hands ran out 3-11 to 0-13 winners against the Leesiders, who had claimed the last five championship titles.

Cork finished with just 13 players as defenders Bríd Stack and Aisling Barrett received yellow cards and were sin-binned in the closing minutes. With that numerical advantage, Tyrone bagged two late goals to clinch victory as full-forward Sarah Connolly (57) and inspirational midfielder Sarah Donnelly (60) netted for the Ulster outfit.
