Kelly hails ‘inspirational’ O’Riordan

Cork football star Patrick Kelly has paid tribute to Joanne O’Riordan, the inspirational Cork teenager who addressed the UN in New York last week.

Manager Conor Counihan name-checked her after Cork’s third successive league title on Sunday, earned at Mayo’s expense, and Kelly echoed Counihan’s words of praise.

“We have been all watching her during the week,” said Kelly.
