Rena Buckley: ‘I am absolutely blessed. I have always loved the games’

Modest to the end.

When reminding Rena Buckley yesterday afternoon that she’s the first camogie player, footballer or hurler to pocket 18 All-Ireland senior medals, the 31-year old’s reply is that she was lucky the ball bounced favourably for her.

Considering 10 All Star awards and 14 national league medals were also achieved during a glittering inter-county career which spanned 15-years, luck had very little to do with it.
