Joanne Cantwell says her return to playing junior B football has given her "a new lease of life".

The Sunday Game host was an All-Star nominee during her time playing with Dublin at full-back in the late '90s. She received a GAA scholarship to DCU to study journalism and soon her broadcasting career took over at the expense of football.
