She bows out after helping Cork to win the All-Ireland senior camogie title last September, firing home their first goal in that 2-12 to 1-9 victory over Kilkenny. The success was the Barryroe native’s fourth All-Ireland senior medal after previous successes in 2002, 2005 and 2006.
Her 2014 exploits were recognised when she won an Allstar award in November. That was her eighth time claiming such an honour after previous awards from 2004-2007 and 2011-2013.
