Ursula Jacob is one of the all-time greats of camogie, a four-time All-Ireland winner with Wexford and in pursuit of a fourth AIB All-Ireland senior club title with Oulart-The Ballagh as they clash with Galway side Sarsfields at Croke Park on Sunday afternoon.

That knowledge and experience, allied with an ability to articulate, has made her a fulcrum of RTÉ’s team of Gaelic games pundits. She knows what it is to compete in the white heat of battle with it all on the line, her playing career coming after being reared around genderless hurling, as the daughter of Wexford great Mick Jacob, and sister of Helena, Rory and Michael, Wexford players all.
