Aine Kinsella has gone through her story, how she played football for Carlow, took up camogie in her late 20s and somehow ended up becoming a hurling performance analyst.

Kinsella has explained how she developed a working relationship with John Hegarty through the Shelmaliers football club in Wexford in 2020, having previously been involved with the county title winning Shels hurlers, how Hegarty then brought her on board with Wexford once he was appointed football manager last autumn and how, on the eve of their Leinster SFC dress rehearsal with Laois, she is adjusting to being a coach with an inter-county football team having previously headed up the stats department of Darragh Egan's Wexford hurling setup.
