In male and female sport we need more women involved in coaching

Andy Murray made Amelie Mauresmo his coach (and took a bit of heat for it). Davy Fitzgerald brought Mags D’Arcy into his Wexford management set-up.

Luke Connolly might be known as much as Megan Connolly’s sibling as the other way around here in Cork. Girls growing up now can see their heroes on the field competing and playing at the highest levels.

Cork will be a testing ground here and an obvious place to start in many ways given the high population of ladies GAA players in the county who’ve stopped playing in the last few years with an awful lot of experience and winning mentality to pass on.

Geraldine O’Flynn has already started the process with Glanmire and you’d think there will be more to continue that cycle.
