Kilmacud Crokes face three in-a-row champions Kilkerrin-Clonberne at Croke Park today.
Emma Duffy KILMACUD CROKES HAVE won three All-Ireland senior men’s football titles, but this evening, their women’s team will make their first final appearance.
She remembers growing up watching him in the purple and gold, celebrating their successes, and being involved in trophy presentations. “It’s a big driving factor, it always has been for me in terms of my Dad’s influence and my uncle’s influence, but just as a family as a whole, it feels that bit different with this one.”
Hosting that match at Parc De Burca last month was somewhat unbelievable, Magee says, and ramped up the buzz around the club and locality. She has been right at the heart of it, another layer added as the substitute teacher is instantly recognised as The Kilmacud Player by kids in schools. “If you’re there and you want to play for Crokes and you want to buy in, we’re all for that. It just brings a different kind of aspect, different perspectives on the game as well, which brings a good mix.”
