Mournabbey found that magic mix of club commitment and county class to go all the wayTHE great GAA stories happen this time of year. When Clyda Rovers brought out a book that winter entitled ‘The Glory years 1997-2013’ there was a chapter on the Mourneabbey ladies team but they hadn’t yet won a senior county title at that stage; now they’ve got five counties and at last an All-Ireland title. And yet, any team needs that stardust quality that will win games and Mourneabbey have one of the best around. On her first possession, O’Sullivan simply turned, headed straight for goal and thumped a point over, a real statement of intent. They’ve shown it’s possible for a group of ladies from a small part of Cork to become the best team in the country.
