From www.castlebar.ie Sports-John Mulligan The title says it all, this is the biggest weekend as far as ladies sport in the county is concerned with the All Ireland ladies football final taking place in Croke Park on Sunday. Mayo are bidding to win their third title in four years and at the moment are looking good odds to do so. This team is more than special. With players like Denise Horan in goal and Cora Staunton and Marcella Heffernan knocking them in, there isn't a team in the country that isn't afraid of them. But in saying that, Monaghan have a pedigree all of their own. In fact it would be true to say that, along with Mayo and Waterford they are responsible for making the ladies game as popular as it is now. Mayo will be desperate to exorcise the ghost of last year's heart breaking defeat to Laois, while Monaghan will be out to reconfirm themselves as kingpins of ladies football. This one will be a classic and for those who cannot make it, Mid West Radio are covering the game live so you wont miss a thing. © Copyright 2003 by www.castlebar.ie and the author |
