Roisin Ormond has more reason than most to relish the start of another Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship campaign having recently not envisaged representing Munster ever again.

Two years ago, the Ballingcollig player was at a serious crossroads of her playing career. She had represented the Munster U18s, captained her province’s U19s and been a senior squad member since 2014 yet her world was turned upside down at the end of 2020 when her brush with the coronavirus developed into long covid.
