That was the start of an astonishing scoring run as the Blues’ belief became bolstered.

The pair met in Spain, and their local coffee shop in Granada provided the inspiration to set up their own business. They had just started pedestrianising the Marina Market then and the other stalls soon followed and things just took off for us," he explains.

Cork captain Máire O'Callaghan: Hard work beats talent (Irish Examiner)

The 26-year-old was this season named captain of the Cork Ladies Football team - a role she juggles with her job as a quality control analyst.
