Rena Buckley and Briege Corkery refuse to be sated by relentless success

They don’t come more modest than Rena Buckley and Briege Corkery.

The Cork dual pair wrote their names into Irish sporting history when capturing their 15th All-Ireland senior medal on Sunday afternoon, joining Dubliner Kathleen Mills as the most decorated sportswomen in the GAA.

When the achievement was relayed to Buckley in the long corridor underneath the Hogan Stand that history had been created on the Croke Park turf, the Cork wing-back quickly sidestepped the spotlight and instead turned the focus on what this title meant to Cork.
