Frank Browne: ‘Mayo needs Cora Staunton and ladies football needs her’
Staunton is set to inform Browne before the weekend whether or not she intends to go again in the green and red, with fellow long-serving stars Martha Carter and Yvonne Byrne also mulling over their futures. The trio are close friends off the pitch and it’s understood that if one player decides to retire, the other two could do likewise.
Browne, speaking at yesterday’s Lidl Ladies National Football League launch, said: “All three or no three. I’m confident, but I’d be an optimist anyway. I’d be reasonably confident they’ll be with us but it’s up to them. I think ladies football needs them, too; we need role models.”
