Kate Kelly parting from her great love of camogie

Kate Kelly announced her retirement from senior intercounty camogie last week after a career that spanned 20 years.

It yielded four All-Irelands and 27 goals and 315 points from 88 Championship appearances. The former Player of the Year opened up on some of the highs and lows of those magnificent two decades.

“Someone told me when the time is right to give up you’ll know, and that’s what I’ve gone on. It never crossed my mind this winter but you do take it year by year. There’s no point saying I’m going to be there for the next 10 years. I’m not,” she said.
