Cork's loss has been Mourneabbey’s gain, says Brid O’Sullivan

Mourneabbey skipper Brid O’Sullivan believes the disappointing end to Cork’s championship campaign can help drive her side towards a maiden All-Ireland club senior success this weekend.

O’Sullivan’s inter-county season was ended by a Cora Staunton-inspired Mayo at the semi-final stage this year and she will once again lock horns with the 11-time All-Star, when Mourneabbey take on Carnacon at Parnell Park on Sunday (throw-in 3.45pm).

It could prove to be a memorable day for Cork ladies football, as Kinsale and Aghada also face Dunboyne and Corduff in the intermediate and junior finals, respectively, and O’Sullivan feels the Leesiders’ early exit from the All-Ireland series has aided the club scene in the county.
