Ten years on and Rena is as earnest as ever

Ten years ago, Rena Buckley was the youngest starter in Cork’s first Division 1 National League final, aged just 17.

Despite her youth, the Inniscarra dual star had already accumulated nine All-Ireland medals, 18 Munster, four senior county medals, one Interprovincial, one Munster Young Player of the Year and her first TG4/O’Neills All Star just by the end of the 2004 season.

Today she goes in search of her eighth Division 1 League title as first-timers Dublin look to dethrone Cork in Parnell Park (live on TG4, 3.45pm).
