Munster senior ladies football final: Dramatic Aherlow rise the pride of the glen

From the Aherlow starting team that overcame Southern Gaels of Kerry in the recent Munster semi-final, Laura Ivory was the sole survivor from the club’s 2009 county Junior B championship winning side

Aherlow captain Laura Ivory can appreciate more than the majority of her teammates the achievement that is their involvement in Sunday's Munster senior ladies football final.

From the Aherlow starting team that overcame Southern Gaels of Kerry in the recent Munster semi-final, Ivory was the sole survivor from the club’s 2009 county Junior B championship winning side. And from slogging it out in the Junior B grade just 12 years ago, Aherlow will on Sunday become the first Tipperary club in 40 years to contest the Munster senior decider (Mallow, 2pm).
