Anna reveals how "Gay Byrne was actually my hero", teases us with a camogie comeback by saying, "I wouldn't like to say I've hung up my boots because there's more in me yet" and is shocked to find out what her nickname on wikipedia is - "I've never heard of that before".   View this post on Instagram   I remember the day as if it was yesterday....I remember the nerves in my belly, the smile on my face and I’ll NEVER FORGET looking at the sea of red and white as I lifted the O’ Duffy cup, it’s something that will stay with me FOREVER!! ?☺️ The @officialcamogie All Ireland Final day is an occasion to savor whether you’re a supporter, player or someone that never played but always wanted to go to Croke Park, NOWS YOUR CHANCE... it’s a BIG deal ? As a player it definitely lifts your spirits when you’re met with a wall of sound CHEERING & ROARING and a sea of colour as you run out of the tunnel onto the pitch. As the saying goes, NOTHING beat being there!! The atmosphere is electric, the tension is palpable, as is the EXCITEMENT!! It’s just a wonderful occasion and we should all #gotogether and support the finals tomorrow, support the players and support the culmination of a year’s hard work. Everyone who loves our game deserves to see Camogie progress so the first step is let’s get bums on seat tomorrow! Let’s back our game and see first hand what a wonderful game it is ????
