Mayo's Diane O'Hora managed Kildare to the All Ireland Intermediate title in Croke Park today.
Ballina's Diane O'Hora is celebrating this evening after managing her Kildare side to the TG4 All Ireland Intermediate title thanks to a 2-11 to 2-10 win over Clare in Croke Park. The woman who captained Mayo to the county's first senior title in 1999 and went on to win multiple All Ireland medals has made a huge impression in management and was central to Kildare's exciting win this afternoon.
O’Hora’s side looked to be heading for a comfortable win when eight points clear entering the final ten minutes before the concession of two late goals generated an exciting finale.
The cushion of first half goals from Trina Duggan and Ellen Dowling, left Kildare well clear but the Clare backlash was ignited in the 52nd minute when Chloe Moloney’s free was parried by Mary Hulgraine, only for Fidelma Marrinan to flick the rebound to the net while three minutes later Moloney got a deft flick to a Ciara McCarthy delivery to find the net and tee up a grandstand finish.
However, O'Hora's women never panicked and when the final whistle sounded the former Mayo captain had added another glowing achievement to her management CV.
