Rena Buckley: "If it’s just my parents coming to watch it or 40,000 coming to watch it I still want to play as well as I can"

You may recognise the name but not the face while the scale of her achievements has probably been lost on you as well.

Although the whole country last winter — through the RTÉ Team of the Year award — finally realised the sustained excellence of Eamonn Ryan’s ladies footballers; while it can now tell the headband, scoring feats and even sexuality of their exceptional strike forward Valerie Mulcahy; even though Anna Geary’s retirement last week made the Six-One News, you’d need serious prompting to know that the pleasant but unassuming bespectacled physio that walks into the lobby of the Oriel House Hotel in Ballincollig is the most decorated player in women’s GAA history.

Her All-Ireland senior medal count is now 14: nine in football, five in camogie, just like her fellow dual player and friend, Briege Corkery. Only the late great Kathleen Mills who won 15 All-Irelands with Dublin camogie in the 1950s and 60s has more senior Celtic Crosses.
