After comeback, Briege Corkery has bigger plans for 2019

The comeback, though she hadn’t intended on one, was triggered by an unexpected phone call from Cork camogie manager Paudie Murray.

Briege Corkery was five months pregnant when Paudie got in touch in December of 2017. She hadn’t pulled on a red shirt since September of 2016 and harboured no ambitions of a return to the inter-county scene, so even though the pair would be friendly, she was somewhat bemused as to why he was calling.
