Which team mate has the best looking other half? They all have stunners but this one has to go to our main supporter and Miriam”s other half, Rox.
Who is the worst/best trainer?
Worst- Michelle McDevitt, always seems to last on the pitch, word on the street is she’s the reason her sisters are always late.
Best- This has to go to an U12 player Clodagh McAteer she’d play seniors if she was allowed, the doll has no fears.
Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room? Victoria Gallagher loves to fix herself up in case there is anyone important watching.

Aishleen Mc Guinness (she paid me to say this).
Best or worst quote you’ve heard, either from a manager, player, opponent? I couldn’t pick one, John Phaidí must read a book of quotes before he comes to games and trainings.
Best manager you’ve ever played under? I’ve had many good ones, but this one goes to the trio of Siobhan, Shaun & Ronan.
Best ever performance? Against GMIT with LYIT last year.
One to forget? Minor Finals v Moville.
Sporting ambition? Win a Senior Championship with Gaeil Fhánada.
When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be?
My Grandad was a great hurler and has pocketed a few senior club medals in Meath, so I always wanted to be the footballing version of him.
If you were in charge of transfers, who’d be in and who’d be out of the team? I think I’d just take Siobhan Coyle out of retirement.
