Cork's Sorcha McCartan has been named RTÉ All-Ireland camogie final Player of the Match.

Despite breaking a finger in her side's semi-final win over Tipperary, the corner forward from St Finbarr's scored four points, set up Órlaith Cahalane for a goal and was also fouled for two frees as the Rebels regained the O'Duffy Cup with a one-point victory over holders Galway at Croke Park. 

“I had no doubt coming up today that we were going to come away with a win, to be honest,” she said on The Sunday Game.

“There’s just such characters in this dressing room. The work we put in this year was absolutely ridiculous.

“Even when people doubted us, we never doubted ourselves.

“To be honest, we pulled off some wins at the start that kind of shook us a bit, but if you look at the players we have in this changing room, they’re unbelievable. They’re unbelievable people.

"I’m just so happy for us all.”
