Brigid’s call on Currid’s expertise

Connacht club champions St Brigid’s are hoping performance coach Caroline Currid’s All-Ireland success will rub off on them.

Manager Noel O’Brien revealed they have been working with sports psychologist Currid whose expertise has contributed to Dublin and Tyrone footballers winning All-Irelands titles last year and 2008 respectively, as well as the Tipperary hurlers’ Liam MacCarthy Cup win in 2010.

After falling to Crossmaglen in last March’s All-Ireland final, O’Brien believed something was missing from the set-up and felt the players were daunted by the day.
