While admitting there is never truly a right time to hang up your boots, Meath’s Niamh O’Sullivan has said she is happy with her decision to retire from inter-county football.

A senior debutant as a teenager back in 2008, the Dunshaughlin native previously stepped away from the Royal panel for a number of years before returning to the fold in 2016. Meath dropped down from the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship at the end of her comeback year, only to eventually reclaim a top-tier spot with an All-Ireland intermediate success in 2020.
