So then I actually wasn't allowed to play.

at all then when we got up so I got to play two games for Portlaoise unfortunately but yeah mostly I'll you know at the high level I would have played would have been Old Belvedere when Tom Tierney you know rest his soul great coach great man took over the Irish women he said now you'll have to move up so I moved to Old Belvedere and

Unfortunately, never played in a final, but like that, had great times.

My actually husband has better AIL stories.

He played for Carlo back in the day and he'll tell you all the stories about playing with different guys and then unfortunately going down to games sometimes and Irish internationals are released and then...

It's game over.

But he's a lot better at stories than I do.

But yeah, we had great times in Old Belvedere and actually I played a game in 2024 completely out of the blue.

So that's probably my most interesting AL story that I played a game in 2024 having not played for about five years and...

I knew that actually, because I stopped playing in 2020, COVID hit, then I had two kids and I was going to finish that year anyway.

But then it just, as it happened, I had kids.

So I played a game two years ago and I realised, no, I'm finished.

I'm finished.

And I decided I was playing in the back row.

So just so no one could go, God, she doesn't have it anymore.

Yeah, I'm playing in a different position, guys.

No, I actually was fine.

The game was fine.

I just probably was very unfit, like I'm fitter now than I was then and I've been fitter since and before.

But no, I just think I had enough.
