Hannah Looney targeting greatness after Cork defend their All-Ireland camogie crown

Hannah Looney joked that she might be getting onto Cork's Olympic rowing champions Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy to help in the celebrations after the Rebels defended their All-Ireland senior camogie title at Croke Park.

In a topsy turvy game, Cork trailed by a point at half time before surging six clear thanks to a controversial goal from Katrina Mackey.

Galway threw everything at the champions and astonishingly drew level with half a dozen points on the bounce but Cork are champions for a reason, and their bench powered them over the line as Sorcha McCartan and Clodagh Finn hit the target.

A second title in a row, it's also a 30th title for Cork.

"I'm over the moon," Looney told RTÉ Sport afterwards.

"We knew Galway were going to put up a challenge. I know people were saying it was going to be a bit easier than that but it never was.

"It was one of the hardest games we've played all year. That's what was expected.

"I'm bloody delighted - come on the Rebels!"

"I must get on to Paul and Fintan and see if they'll row me down the Lee"
