AS she gets set to feature in Aghada’s first-ever Senior A Championship final at MTU tomorrow afternoon, former Cork star Róisín Phelan said that getting a chance to focus solely on club football in 2024 has been “a breath of fresh air”.

Having arrived on the scene as a teenager in 2012, Phelan announced her inter-county retirement in March. She had previously taken a break from the Cork squad in 2019 when she was working in Dublin and lining out for the Castleknock-based St Brigid’s.
