Ever since she can remember, Kate Slevin has always had a strong passion for playing multiple sports.

Currently in her third year on the Galway Senior ladies football panel, Slevin grabbed headlines when she posted 1-7 for the Tribeswomen in their All-Ireland U16 ‘A’ final victory against Kerry in 2018. Having parents from Kilkenny ensured she also tried her hand at camogie, but another sporting code proved to be an even bigger lure for Slevin.
