Páirc Uí Chaoimh entertained the senior Cork LGFA final between Mourneabbey and Éire Óg last night, in what was a first for the historic ground.
2020 saw the intercounty team admitted for their inaugural outing at the location, but last night’s fixture marks the was ground breaking in terms of women’s club matches at the venue.
7.45pm the throw in time, sparks were anticipated from the getgo given Shane Ronayne’s managerial involvement and shining stars like Eimear Scally, Doireann O’Sullivan and Laura Fitzgerald on display.
Éire Óg had progressed to this point after overcoming Bride Rovers extensively in the semi-final, while a win over Kinsale saw Mourneabbey compete in their eighth consecutive Cork senior final.
