Kayleigh Cronin: 'One of my least enjoyable years with Kerry' 

Beyond the glory of an All-Ireland win and All-Star, 2024 was hard going for the Kerry defender.

LEAST ENJOYABLE: Kerry footballer, Kayleigh Cronin who has teamed up with AIB to support the GOAL mile. As part the campaign AIB is offering people who register for the GOAL Mile the chance to win one of the ten €1,000 prizes for their GAA, Camogie, or LGFA club. To win, people need to register for their GOAL Mile and then enter the AIB GAA GOAL Mile competition at www.aibgaagoalmile2024.com.

Ashamed. Feeling 'fairly low for a while'. A season that she rates personally as 'one of my least enjoyable years in terms of playing with Kerry'.

You wouldn't guess that those words came from the mouth of Kayleigh Cronin; freshly minted All-Star, All-Ireland winner and Player of the Year nominee.
