Valerie Mulcahy exits inter-county stage with perfect 10

Valerie Mulcahy has called time on her inter-county career, safe in the knowledge that there is little else for her to achieve inside the four white lines.

The 33-year-old corner-forward steps away from the Cork ladies football set-up with a remarkable 10 All-Ireland medals, 10 Munster senior championship medals, nine National League medals and six All Stars.

“The time is right. I’ve achieved everything I’ve wanted. I’m lucky to be in that position,” Mulcahy said last night of her 15-year spell in the red jersey.
