Briege Corkery is well known for her talent on the pitch. Along with her former team-mate Rena Buckley, she is the most decorated GAA player of all time, with 18 All-Ireland medals.

The Cork woman has been involved in dairying all her life. Briege was born on a dairy farm, and she and her husband Diarmuid at present milk 600 cows in partnership with Mike Bateman.
