“It’s a hard injury, a lonely injury,” O’Sullivan says as she lists off all of those who supported her through it: her “family” at the Michael Cusacks in Sydney, and at home, her clubmates in Dunshaughlin Royal Gaels and her inter-county team-mates in Meath. Turning 33 in the coming weeks, O’Sullivan is showing no signs of slowing down, and admits there was no doubt in her mind about going again this season despite the wholesale changes in the camp.“I knew I could go another year. I kind of reassess after every year. The legs do get sore, but I knew I was enjoying my football. I think as long as you’re enjoying football, it’s important to try and keep playing.
