Briege Corkery swings battle
Your team is trailing Cork by just a couple of points but defending well, the game is there to be won with less than ten minutes left, but a stray ball has rolled kindly for an opposition forward. Not just any opposition forward, but Briege Corkery.
Briege Corkery, who has nine All-Ireland ladies football medals and five All-Ireland camogie medals in a drawer back home, snaps up the sliotar and bears down on the Galway ’keeper with intent. There is quite a bit of work to do but with that kind of experience to draw from, Corkery holds the ball before shooting until the last possible second, and the goal is as inevitable as death and taxes. Room will have to be made in that drawer for a sixth All-Ireland camogie medal.
