Donoughmore ready to take final step in Ladies JFC final

Donoughmore captain Eileen Lyons is hoping Sunday’s All-Ireland Club Ladies JFC final can be the springboard for a bright future at the Cork club.

National senior champions in 2001 and 2003, the Leesiders also competed in the 2004 and 2009 top-tier deciders. They then went through a difficult period of transition, arriving at a point where they couldn’t field a team for the county championship two years ago.
