It’s not the medal chase bringing Lyndsey Davey back for more

Five-time All-Ireland winner Lyndsey Davey thought last season would be her last with Dublin

She’s still only 31 but Lyndsey Davey has been a Dublin senior footballer for considerably longer than she hasn’t.

That’s a remarkable thought and one the five-time All-Ireland medallist admits ‘makes me feel old’ though the end may finally be in sight.
