Emma Cleary speaks to The 42.
Her family, steeped in Gaelic games, would make the pilgrimage every September to support her aunt, Nollaig, and the Cork ladies footballers.
“I was lucky to have a female sportsperson so close, in the family and also seeing the Cork ladies win All-Irelands. I know that mightn’t be the case for every young girl.” The Maguires, 2023 All-Star nominee Rory and Cathal, are also with John Cleary’s footballers, while Emma’s boyfriend is Cork hurler Luke Meade.
“It’s nice having that balance as well. We could be after the worst game ever and she’ll still tell us we’re amazing.
