The Cappoquinn midfielder, who will be 28 in October, is captain this year again and now a three-time All-Star.
An indicator of that progress made by the Waterford senior camogie team in recent years can be found very clearly in an interview given by Lorraine Bray in August 2021.
Bray made no bones at the time about the importance of that game. It was Derek Lyons’ first year at the helm and the following season, they gave Cork a big fright in the All-Ireland semi-final. Then last year, with Seán Fleming taking the reins, they reached the blue riband for the first time in 78 years. It proved a chastening experience as Cork galloped off into the sunset but it was a million miles from that day in the trenches against the Mourne women.
“I’d heard of some of the players that had gone through the programme and I’d only heard positive things about it. As we know, there are no problems in that regard for the epitome of perpetual motion. There were people who believed that the increasing physicality in camogie would wipe out the impact of diminutive operators like Bray and Aoife Donohue.
“Now, we get told off at times when we need to be, but he definitely tries to see the positive things and take massive learnings from any of the teams we’ve played.” “We played Cork in the League and it was very low scoring and it was a total different game compared to other games we played in the League. So a lot of it depends on how you set up against teams as well.
