Wexford county team, it would be good to see how training goes with like fifty at it. I’m not used to that at all.

Training at half 8 on a Sunday morning, and the black and blue legs and arms with bruises.

I really want to build up my strength so I can tackle harder and be able to take a tough tackle better.

It will go towards equipment and petrol for me to travel to training and coaching sessions for the underage teams.
13) In ten year’s time where do you see yourself?
Hopefully teaching in a school with a camogie/hurling team and being part of the management. I would also hope that I would still be playing camogie myself.
