Irish ladies step into unknown against Aussies, says Christina

MAYO All-Star Christina Heffernan admits the Irish Ladies International Rules team will be facing into the unknown when they take on Australia for the first ever time in Cavan’s Breffni Park next week.

While the Australians have been inundated with videos and DVDs of the Irish players in action from the All-Ireland series, footage of the women’s AFL is more of a collector’s item.

The first snippets of information the Irish team management received of their opponents came last Monday evening when the Australians presented them with a hastily compiled DVD.
