Which character in any film are you most like? Sharpay Evans

Any odd items in your kit bag? A holy medal

Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room? Anna Gallagher, the Beauty Works hairbrush always makes an appearance on match days.

Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus? Best, hard to pick one, and worst is probably Deirdre Doherty – she’s always in a fluster before a game.

Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include? Best probably Monica O’Connor, and worst Aoife Doherty – I don’t think I’ve ever seen her eat a piece of fruit.

Toughest opponent you have faced? Ava Walsh, Naomh Pádraig Uisce Chaoin

Best or worst quote you’ve heard, either from a manager, player, opponent? “Tis what it is” our manager Michael O’Connor’s response to all our worries

Best manager you’ve ever played under? Declan McDermott, Donegal Minors

Best ever performance? Club minor semi final against Dungloe

One to forget? Definitely this year’s League semi-final against Robert Emmets. We were beaten in a close game, and I picked up a yellow card near the end.

Sporting ambition? To win a club championship with Gaels.

When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be? Michael Murphy or Sean O’Shea

If you were in charge of transfers, who’d be in and who’d be out of the team? I wouldn’t put anyone out of the team. If I could bring anyone in, I‘d bring a few girls back that have dropped away
