The story of Dublin's All-Ireland ladies football title success in 2023 was of triumph after initial adversity. It is shaping up as something similar for Cork in 2024.

"I think looking on after the league, if we were told we'd be in this position we would have grabbed it with two hands," said Katie Quirke, referencing Cork's impressive run to the Championship's last four having previously been relegated from Division 1.
