Marie Crowe: I’m not a fan of taking shortcuts

I love nothing more than going to match with the family in tow. It was the way I was raised and it’s the way I raise my children

Marie Crowe at Aviva Ireland’s new community garden which officially opened to the public this week.

Sports presenter Marie Crowe says she is envious of young women who have a wealth of female sportstars to look up to.

“Growing up, there were so few female athletes on the telly,” the Game On presenter says. “I’m so jealous of the generations now that can go watch Katie McCabe in Champions League action and turn on camogie quarterfinals and semifinals - it’s amazing. When I was growing up, the only female sports I got to see were All-Ireland final days.”
