Katie Power: 'I was like a deer in headlights but it was great to be back out there'

Katie Power has admitted that playing her first full game in almost two years for Kilkenny in last Saturday’s All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship quarter-final against Wexford was difficult but expects that it will stand to her if she gets the nod for Sunday’s semi-final against old rivals Cork.

“It was tough going,” said Power, who had not started for the Cats since the 2019 All-Ireland final defeat to Galway due to an operation on her finger and then suffering a broken kneecap in training just before her scheduled competitive return.
