Cork forward Áine O’Sullivan scored a sublime lobbed goal in Sunday’s All-Ireland Ladies Football final with Dublin.
With Dublin boasting a one goal advantage thanks to a Sinead Aherne penalty, O’Sullivan picked up the ball just outside the square after a botched Dublin clearance and calmly curved the ball over the head of Jacks goalkeeper Ciara Trant and into the back of the net.

Trant was standing by her near post by the time O’Sullivan picked up the ball but nevertheless it’s a fantastic finish from the Beara forward.
O’Sullivan’s goal brought Cork right back into the game but it didn’t take long for the Dubs to restore their advantage as Carla Rowe sidestepped her marker before burying the ball past Martina O’Brien and into the back of the net.

Early scores from Orla Finn and O’Sullivan in the second-half helped Cork cut the deficit back to two points before Rowe hammered home another goal as Dublin look poised to defend their title.
