Free-scoring Dermody has Kilkenny in her sights
The decision to convert Elaine Dermody from full-back to central attacker on the Faithfuls’ camogie team in 2009 might not be the most obvious to make that list, but it paid instant dividends, as the Drumcullen ace propelled her side to an historic All-Ireland junior title. They followed up by winning the intermediate championship 12 months later and are holding their own at senior level.
Throughout it all, Dermody has been scoring for fun. The stats show she has scored 4-22 this term, representing 64% of Offaly’s 6-35 in the four games of the round-robin series. Despite that, she would prefer to be contributing more from play. Her free-taking has been very impressive though.
