Cork's 11-time All-Ireland winning ladies football star Deirdre O'Reilly has called time on her glittering inter-county career.
Manager Ephie Fitzgerald confirmed her retirement on Cork's Red FM last night. An unsung heroine of the greatest team ladies football has ever seen, O'Reilly made her senior Cork debut as a 15-year-old and featured both in defence and attack. She won three All-Ireland medals playing alongside here older sister Sinead.
