When Paul Hunt first met his future wife Trish, he could see she was a keeper. But then it takes one to know one.

Paul is a goalkeeper with the Cork City squad who began their League of Ireland First Division campaign with a victory over Cobh Ramblers on Friday night, while Trish Fennelly Hunt is a goalkeeper with the Galway Women’s FC side who drew 3-3 with Cork City on Saturday, in the opening round of the Women’s National League.
