Briege Corkery became a dual All Star winner as Cork and Dublin filled 10 of the 15 places on the 2014 TG4 Ladies All Stars team at last night's banquet at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin.

The Player's Player of the Year awards for Junior, Intermediate and Senior were also presented on a memorable night for ladies football.

All-Ireland champions Cork scooped six All Stars - first-time winner Vera Foley, dual player Angela Walsh, Brid Stack, Geraldine O'Flynn, Ciara O'Sullivan and the aforementioned Corkery, who won her eighth award and first at midfield.

Runners-up Dublin are represented by captain Sinead Goldrick, who claims her third All Star in-a-row, Lyndsey Davey, Sinead Aherne and another first-time winner, Noelle Healy.

The remaining five slots went to the Armagh pair Mairead Tennyson and Caroline O'Halon, Laois goalkeeper Ciamh Dollard, Cora Courtney (Monaghan) and Aileen Pyers (Down). 

Armagh captain O'Hanlon, who represented Northern Ireland in netball at the Commonwealth Games last summer, was also honoured with the Senior Player's Player of the Year award.

Caroline Little of Fermanagh was named as the 2014 Intermediate Player of the Year, while Wexford goalkeeper Mary Rose Kelly scooped the Junior accolade.
