IT WAS ANOTHER glorious dual year for Cork as the Leesiders claimed All-Ireland senior ladies football and camogie glory.
Cork met Galway in League finals in both codes, with the camogie team suffering defeat before the footballers ousted the Westerners following a replay.
You would have got long odds on Cork retaining their All-Ireland camogie crown following a spate of retirements but Paudie Murray plotted a successful path to September glory once again.
Those two great dual stars, Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley, returned to Croke Park later in the month to collect another football crown – their tenth in eleven seasons.

Finally, the 2016 ladies football season will go ahead without this man on the touchline for Cork…Eamonn Ryan presided over 10 All-Ireland wins in 11 years but has taken up a new position alongside Peadar Healy with the county’s senior men’s footballers. We may never see his likes again in the ladies game.
