Q&A: Cork goalkeeper Aoife Murray - ‘They are the first ones who’ll call themselves feminists'

Aoife Murray has been keeping goal for the Cork camogie team for 16 years, and has seen considerable improvements in the sport at large, but the lack of women actively supporting female teams and sports continues to be a bugbear

Q: Cork lost to Kilkenny in last year’s All-Ireland final, and again in the 2017 league decider, so how disappointing was that?

A: A lot of people have said that we must have been disappointed with the league, but I actually left it in a very positive mood. I thought we had a great league. We had something like 70% possession in the final, but we didn’t convert it. That’s a positive. We had more scores than Kilkenny, but then the other side is how we didn’t win it. So we have been working on that the last few weeks.
