Cork Wins Ladies Gaelic Quarter-Final Against Mayo in Injury-Delayed Match

Katie Quirke scored goals in each half to lead Cork to victory over Mayo in the All-Ireland quarter-final at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park in Castlebar. Cork started strongly with an early goal from Máire O'Callaghan, while Mayo's Sinead Walsh and substitute Ava McDonnell kept the sides close in the first half. Cork went into halftime leading 2-03 to 0-06, maintaining their advantage through the third quarter with consistent scoring, including points from Aoife Geraghty and Aine O’Sullivan. Quirke's second goal on the 52nd minute seemed to seal the win, but Mayo fought back with a goal from substitute Annie Gough. A late potential equalizer for Mayo was disallowed due to a square ball call, and Laura O’Mahony's late point confirmed Cork's progression to the last eight, while Mayo will face Leitrim in the next round. The match was interrupted by a serious injury to Mayo's Shauna Kelly following a collision with Cork goalkeeper Sarah Murphy.
