Evelyn Daly has plenty of fighting spirit to call on

Evelyn Daly doesn’t have to look far to tap into a fighting spirit ahead of today’s UEFA Women’s Under 17 European Championship opener because her brother is a cage fighter.

A rising star, who is very much on the UFC radar, Ciaran has carved out a reputation as someone who epitomises commitment and a full-blooded attitude. And so does his sister, who is a key player for the Republic of Ireland.

The Cork siblings share a tenacious streak that has allowed them to succeed in their chosen sports and it’s something that Daly will call on for Ireland as they take on France in Group B in Reykjavik this afternoon.
