VIDEO: Briege Corkery’s half-time team talk inspires Cork to pick path to victory

Just before Cork headed back out the door of dressing room 2 for the second-half of yesterday’s senior All-Ireland final in Croke Park, Briege Corkery took to the floor.

Cork had been here before in 2014, trailing Dublin at the turnaround, albeit not by as much, but this time, for some reason, it meant a bit more. The tears shed at half-time by some would suggest so anyways.

Maybe it was because they hadn’t done themselves justice, but maybe too it was because this could very well be the last curtain call for those who’ve battled in red since 2005. Some as young as 15, like Deirdre O’Reilly.
