Roisin ‘Yankee’ Friel got injured in the All-Ireland final and looked like she had been shot by a sniper, doing the most dramatic fall ever.

The goal Dublin scored against us last year will probably never happen again, I don’t think you could do it even if you tried, or Nicole McLaughlin scoring in a game is very strange

Aimee Mackin against Mayo last year, kicked some lovely scores

The games I lost, especially losing games after working so hard towards that game.
