CORA STAUNTON CONTINUES to wow audiences Down Under, following her latest performance in the Women’s Australian Football League (AFLW).
The Mayo footballer — who recently suffered a broken nose — scored an impressive goal from distance as her side Greater Western Sydney Giants defeated Fremantle to keep their hopes of making the NAB AFL Women’s Grand Final alive.
A long ball was delivered into Staunton’s area and after initially fumbling possession, she quickly recovered to gather the ball and make some space for herself.

The four-time All-Ireland winner then launched a long-range kick towards the posts to score an exceptional goal for the Sydney side.
Later in the game, she played a crucial role in another goal after she fed the ball into teammate Courtney Gum, who split the posts from close range on the way to a 6.3 (39) to 3.3 (21) win for the Giants.
The 18-point victory moves the Giants into fourth place on the ladder ahead of Fremantle, leaving them just two points off the top-three teams with two wins, two losses and a draw.
