No Cora Staunton….are they having a laugh? Seriously how does she not get an all star? Saw her play a few weeks ago and she’s better than a lot of the men playing Gaelic.
Hard to believe there’s 3 Dublin forwards when they struggled so badly to put the ball over the bar in the final. You’d have to wonder about credibility of this.
