Libby Coppinger has been defending her patch as full-back for most of her near decade on the Cork senior camogie team.

The four All-Irelands and two All-Star awards accumulated since being called up in 2016 provide irrefutable evidence that she is in the finest traditions of Cork full-backs, though injury prevented her from playing a part on the pitch last year. Think resolute, think resilient. A sure touch makes her the ideal blend of silk and steel.
