John Cleary always encourages his daughter Emma to focus on the enjoyment of the game. The Cork football manager might have not been able to attend many of the ladies football games this spring due to his commitment with the Rebel footballers, but he is there to lend a listening ear and provide constant support.

“Dad is a good man for advice, he’s always there, and he is never too hard on me either,” says the Cork ladies football captain, ahead of Saturday's Lidl National League Division 1 final.
