Mary Leacy: ‘Camogie is a hobby — having children helped me to realise that’

Oulart-The Ballagh captain Leacy will again be on minding duty, but it is Sarsfields’ renowned forward line rather than her own two smallies who she’ll be keeping a close eye on

No sooner has Mary Leacy taken our call when the sound of young children making their presence felt becomes clearly audible in the background.

We ask Mary if we’ve caught her at a less than convenient time, but she assures us that everyone is where they should be and so we’re okay to drive on.
