Emma Kilkelly rallies to the cause

Emma Kilkelly collapsed on the Nowlan Park turf, her camogie season over in an instant.

Two minutes from half-time in last month’s All-Ireland semi-final, Kilkelly gathered possession in front of the Old Stand. Planting her right foot in the ground, the Galway half-forward sought to jink left of Wexford’s Deirdre Codd, but wound up on the grass. In agony.

An MRI scan confirmed the worst. ACL tear. Season over.
