CORK CAMOGIE STAR Gemma O’Connor has announced her retirement from the inter-county game.
O’Connor is one of the most successful players in the sport having collected nine All-Ireland senior medals and has a record 11 All-Star awards.
The St Finbarr’s player confirmed her decision to the Evening Echo tonight that she was bringing a glittering playing career with Cork to a close. Her last appearance was in November’s All-Ireland semi-final loss against Kilkenny in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
O’Connor made her county senior debut in 2002 and celebrated the first of her All-Ireland triumphs that year before the last one arrived in 2018. Her run of All-Star recognition began in 2004, the start of six awards in a row, before the record-setting 11th was landed in 2018.
