Cork ladies captain Ciara O'Sullivan says it's an honour to play alongside some of the most well-known players in the game.

The Rebelettes take on Dublin in tomorrow's TG4 All-Ireland SFC final at Croke Park, where midfielders Rena Buckley and Briege Corkery will be looking for a remarkable 16th senior All-Ireland medal, following camogie success two weeks ago.

"If you see the effort they put in, in football, and then you picture doubling that. . . You'd think from what they do in football it's not possible to do any more, but they do," O'Sullivan told The Irish Independent.

"It's such a big part of their lives now for the last 10 or 11 years, I think it just becomes a habit, they are out six or seven night of the week; it's a way of life.

"I've been very lucky to fit into a successful Cork team. I've played with probably the most famous ladies footballers ever, players like Juliet Murphy, Nollaig Cleary and Angela Walsh. It's an honour."
