Ailish Considine says interest increasing in playing down under

While the notion that elite sportspeople might be attracted to playing professionally is lost to many on these shores, the facts speak for themselves and Ailish Considine is predicting more interested among ladies footballers in participating in the AFLW next season.

Considine is one of five Irish players involved in the upcoming campaign after the Clare dual star was recruited by Adelaide Crows, with Mayo duo Cora Staunton (GWS) and Sarah Rowe (Collingwood), Donegal’s Yvonne Bonner (GWS) and Tipp’s Aisling McCarthy (Western Bulldogs).
