Antrim skipper Boyle chasing birthday boost

Last year was tough but Boyle was never going to desert the ranks just because there were no silver baubles going around.

BIRTHDAY BOOST: Antrim Camogie player, Amy Boyle 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. Pic: ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan

Amy Boyle celebrates her 25th birthday today and the captain of the Antrim camogie team will hope to be celebrating tomorrow evening by leading her team to the top tier of the Very League with victory over Clare in the Division 1B final at the NGDC in Abbotstown (2pm throw-in, livestream on Camogie Association’s YouTube).

Getting to work three out of five days from home, in her job with AIB in Belfast, has been conducive to a smooth build-up to the game, as it is to the lifestyle of an inter-county camogie player in general.
