Cork getting ready for Senior All-Ireland Final

Cork getting ready for Senior Final

 

The Senior Ladies are all geared up for the All-Ireland
Senior final on Sunday week. Talks of three in a row are being
kept firmly on the backburner with the camogie players having
just missed out on such a feat on Sunday last. Cork will treat
it as any other game they know that Mayo beat them in the League
Semi and ended their excellent run of 31 matches on the trot.
Cork have not lost since and when one looks back on the Suzuki
league Semi Final, most of the squad were preparing for vital
exams. Those pressures off, Cork strode majestically though the
Championship racking up big scores and displaying great composure
in the latter stages of the championship.

Waterford gave them a very tough battle in the Munster final but
after that they had very easy wins. Those easy wins could be a
minus for them because they have not been really tested in recent
games but when it comes to the All-Ireland final the experience
of the last 2 finals will stand them in great stead. Not that
Mayo will be lacking in experience since they made their breakthrough
in the late nineties when they won 4 titles in 5 years they will
want to bridge the gap to their last triumph against Dublin in
2003.

In Cora Staunton they possess the most lethal forward in Ireland
male or female, but Cork at this stage will have hatched a plan
to curtail the Carnacon flying machine. Mayo have always brought
a huge following to “Croker” and no doubt they will do so again.
The fact that they are playing Mayo and its virtually a 50/50
game, should inspire the Cork faithful as well and they should
turn out in big numbers to support the Rebelettes. Many clubs
have organised groups and must be commended for this. Hopefully
every club in the Co will give the backing to the girls that they
deserve.
