Jennifer O'Leary joins The Southern Star sports team
EIGHT-TIME camogie All-Star and four-time All-Ireland winner Jennifer O’Leary has joined The Southern Star’s sports team.
The Barryroe woman, now living in Armagh, has come on board as a monthly GAA columnist with The Southern Star, starting in this week’s issue as the Cork camogie great looks ahead to her old alma mater’s All-Ireland colleges’ senior camogie final, as Sacred Heart Secondary School, Clonakilty go in search of the big prize on Saturday. O’Leary won an All-Ireland colleges’ title with Sacred Heart in 1999.
The addition of the West Cork GAA legend further strengthens The Southern Star’s sports team, and Sports Editor Kieran McCarthy commented: ‘We are thrilled that Jennifer has decided to join our sports team. She has been there, done that, won it all, and has the medals to prove it.
‘With her knowledge, experience and understanding of sport, not to mention her passion and love for the GAA, Jennifer will be a huge addition to The Southern Star.
‘This also highlights our commitment to giving our loyal readers the best possible experience every week, and you can’t do much better than adding a local sporting legend with the calibre of Jennifer, who, don’t forget, is the reigning Celtic Ross West Cork Sports Star of the Year as well.’
Don’t miss this week’s action-packed 28-page sports section to read Jennifer O’Leary’s first-ever Southern Star column. It’s not to be missed.

Just a note to say that it is usual to merely post links to articles on social media. We do everything through our website. I am in my third, (and last) year as Barryroe PRO and before that I was PRO at Old Christians RFC for maybe 5/6 years, so I am well aware that a lot of people will not touch Facebook/Twitter or any social media with a barge pole, because of privacy worries or fear of information mining. A web site however, makes more people feel happier.
I must be involved with computers for the best part of 30 years and I DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL FACEBOOK OR TWITTER ACCOUNT. So while it may seem unusual to some, and a lot more work for me, that is the way we will go. A lot of the people who log on to our site, do not go near "Social Media". We use Facebook/Twitter merely to link to our website and always try to credit people where due.
Some of you will have no idea what the last couple of paragraphs have been about, and you are probably better off.
