Eimear Scally: Cork dual players 'being put second' in fixture clash

Cork forward Eimear Scally has pleaded with the LGFA to move the date of Cork’s All-Ireland football semi-final so dual players Hannah Looney and Libby Coppinger are not forced to choose one code over the other.

The Cork ladies footballers are due in All-Ireland semi-final action against Donegal on Saturday, August 18, the same day as the Cork camogie team play their All-Ireland semi-final against Tipperary (Thurles, 7.15pm). Looney and Coppinger are part of both panels, with the latter picking up the player of the match award for Cork’s facile ladies football quarter-final win over Westmeath on Monday.
