Corkery thrilled by ‘incredible honour’

Cork ladies football captain Briege Corkery believes the incredible comeback against Dublin in the All-Ireland final helped the general public to really appreciate the character of the team.

On Sunday night, the Rebels — who have won the Brendan Martin Cup for nine of the past 10 years — won the team prize at the annual RTÉ Sports Awards.

It was the only award decided by a public vote and Corkery is delighted Eamonn Ryan’s side are finally getting widespread credit.
