Almost two decades on from making her senior debut as a precocious 14-year-old in July 2004, Lyndsey Davey has opted to bring the curtain down on an illustrious inter-county career.
Lyndsey Davey celebrates with the Brendan Martin Cup after the 2018 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football Senior Championship Final. WHEN DUBLIN SENIOR ladies football manager Mick Bohan sits down to finalise his squad for the 2023 season, one notable name will be missing from his list.
Additionally, she amassed an astounding 13 Leinster senior championship titles and four National Football League crowns – spread evenly across Divisions 1 and 2. “From each session to each match, you just get that realisation that it’s the right thing for your body and probably at the stage in my life that I’m at, it’s probably the right time to move onto the next chapter.“Also, I recently became a paramedic, so getting delayed at calls would sometimes delay me getting to training on time. I was finding it more difficult to juggle both work and football demands.
“For me, I really wanted to go and try to improve on that, try to get us back. When you want to play, you will always look for a reason to go back. For me, I knew this year it was probably just getting a bit more difficult with my body, that it probably was just the right thing to do. I kind of knew this year that this was always going to be my last year, regardless of the outcome.”
“But it was the same weekend that the men were playing and they got the five in-a-row that weekend. Then we got to have our homecoming together. I got Player of the Match in that game as well. For that weekend, it was just a very special occasion for Dublin football, with the men getting five in-a-row and we got the three in-a-row.
