A new challenge for Rebel Rose Geary

Anna Geary has compared being a Rose of Tralee contestant with lining out on the pitch.

The Cork camogie captain will lead the Rebels at Semple Stadium tomorrow week for their Liberty Insurance All-Ireland semi-final against a resurgent Wexford, but has been focused on her responsibilities as Cork Rose since last Saturday’s quarter-final victory over Offaly.

That won’t detract from her on-field performance, she insists, although she admits that none of it would be possible without the support and understanding of her family, friends, boyfriend and the Cork management and players.
