Wexford’s Kate Kelly and Cork’s Briege Corkery have been named the Vodafone GAA Camogie and Ladies’ Football Players of the Year for 2007.
Kelly led Wexford to their first All-Ireland in 32 years, defeating a Cork side that included dual star Corkery.
The Cork woman is continuing a cycle of dominance for the Rebelettes, as Valerie Mulcahy claimed the award in 2005 while Juliette Murphy scooped the prize last year.
Kelly is also a dual player and she was on the Wexford team that reached this year's Intermediate All-Ireland football final. But it was in her role with the camogie team that she enjoyed her biggest successes, emulating the achievement of her mother Peggy who won All-Ireland titles with the Model County in 1968 and 1969.
Kelly scored an impressive 1-40 in the championship, with 15 of her points coming from play.
This latest award caps a remarkable year which saw her named as both Wexford Camogie Player of the Year and Wexford Ladies Footballer of the Year.
Corkery has made an astonishing impact on over the last few seasons. In September she collected her third consecutive All-Ireland senior medal as an essential part of the all-conquering team that has dominated the game for the last three years.
Honoured as the Irish Sportswoman of the Year in 2005, Briege has continued to perform spectacularly on a number of stages, collecting two All-Ireland camogie medals to add to her impressive collection.
