O’Connor inspires Inch to first title

CORK dual star Mary O’Connor kicked five points as Inch Rovers were crowned Tesco All-Ireland Ladies senior club football champions for the very first time yesterday.

O’Connor led the scoring charge at Cashel’s Leahy Park as Rovers finally put one over on Mayo kingpins Carnacon in the third All-Ireland final meeting between the two teams in just four seasons.

Noel O’ Connor (no relation), a selector on the Cork Ladies football team has been involved with the team since 2007 and admitted those two defeats were part of the build-up for yesterday’s historic triumph.
