O’Sullivan mixes finals and family in hectic week

Hectic times for Cork camogie star Eimear O’Sullivan but she wouldn’t change it for the world.

Tomorrow, she jokingly reckons she’ll have to make an appearance at her brother Declan’s wedding while there’s also the small matter of an All-Ireland senior camogie final in Croke Park on Sunday against three-in-a-row-chasing Wexford. And in three weeks’ time, she’ll pitch up in Páirc Uí Chaoimh to support her club, Ballinhassig, as they tackle neighbours Bandon in the Premier IHC final.

“It’s getting in the way but it won’t affect us,” the 24-year-old chirps on her elder sibling’s wedding. “I’ll be in bed early anyway and we’ll enjoy the following week hopefully. We thought originally the county hurling final was going to be on the same day as the camogie and it would’ve caused a bit of tension over where my dad would go but it’s all worked out okay. It’s a good complaint to be in so many finals!”
