Mighty Mourneabbey still haunted by the one that got away

West Cork halted their seven-in-a-row charge in last year’s final and it is the lingering hurt from this rare defeat that is driving the back-to-back All-Ireland club champions ahead of their eighth consecutive county final appearance.

Éire Óg manager Donal Cronin and captain Aobha Hickey who with Mourneabbey manager Shane Ronayne and player Laura Fitzgerald who will contest the Cork senior ladies club football championship which will be played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday night 

These are busy times for Shane Ronayne.

At Páirc Uí Chaoimh this evening, there’s the small matter of attempting to mastermind a seventh Mourneabbey county title in eight seasons. It’s a club campaign he’s been balancing with his recent appointment as Cork ladies football manager, the secondary school teacher wasting no time in laying the groundwork for the 2022 inter-county season.
