‘Scatty as hell’ camogie powerhouse helps to bag well-deserved victory

"Scatty as hell" was how the family of Cork camogie powerhouse Briege Corkery described her last night after she left her handbag behind her in the train station having doled out autographs and hugs.

And so the woman who was instrumental in bringing the O’Duffy Cup back to Cork after a five-year wait showed she did after all have a flaw, even if her hurling is perfect.

Her scattiness extended to her even once missing the train to an All Ireland camogie final, and yes, she was playing on the day, said Briege’s sister Siobhán Twomey who was in Kent Station last night to welcome the victors home.
