Three moments that proved crucial for Cork

1. Briege Corkery’s goal

Ahead by 0-10 to 0-8, Cork finally managed to put significant daylight between themselves and their opponents when Corkery scored a goal on 54 minutes. Shauna Healy’s groundstroke was intercepted by Corkery and the full-forward was coolness personified when sending the sliotar into the bottom-left corner of Susan Earners’s goal.

Although breaching the cover when cutting out Healy’s attempted clearance, Corkery was still 30 metres from the Galway goal and had a fair task in front of her. As manager Paudie Murray said afterwards, no better woman.
