How has this season gone for you? This has been my most productive and successful season to date. Winning the Energia All-Ireland Cup Final with UL Bohs was a bonus! To be involved in Ireland’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations squad was amazing and an unbelievable experience. What was it like scoring a hat-trick in that cup final? It was so special.
Being able to play at the Aviva Stadium alone was unbelievable, and the atmosphere was amazing. Coming out with three tries was the icing on the cake for me. What was your highlight of the season? Definitely the final.
We lost a special member of the club a couple of weeks before the game, the focus was to do it for John Keane , and being able to do it on the day for him was so special. Tell us about your rugby background. I was a late starter to rugby, at age 16.
I used to do athletics where I competed in the long jump, triple jump, and hurdles. My brothers played rugby and their team started a women’s side and a group of us decided to go down and I’ve never looked back. Rugby offered the team aspect that athletics lacked.
It was so nice to have people to rely on. What was the experience of training with the senior squad like? I got to go with Kate Flannery and Ivana Kiripati, two of the other U20 girls. We thought we knew professionalism, but the level was unmatched, it was intense, but a great learning experience and all the senior girls were so helpful and supportive to us younger girls.
What are your ambitions for the Wom.
