Cork dominate ladies' AllStar nominations

Juliet Murphy is one of 10 Cork players included in the list of nominees for the 2005 Ladies' Football AllStar awards.

Murphy, who captained the Rebel county to their first senior All-Ireland title earlier this month, seems a shoo-in for a midfield berth in the AllStar team, which will be announced on November 19.

Two of Cork's nominees - Inniscarra defender Rena Buckley, who was selected as the 2004 AllStar right half-back, and this year's final hero Valerie Mulcahy, the left half-forward winner 12 months ago - are in line for successive AllStar honours.

Rockbán attacker Mulcahy hit a goal and five points in Cork's 1-11 to 0-8 All-Ireland final win over Galway.

Angela Walsh, Buckley and Breige Corkery, three of the five Cork players who won All-Ireland camogie medals in 2005, are also on the nominations list.

Meanwhile, legendary Mayo forward Cora Staunton is in contention for her fifth AllStar award since 2000.
