Biggest whinger in training? Pinball – John Connor – he’s part of the Galway management team!
On a night out who’s most likely to hang you out to dry on social media? Without doubt, Aoife Donoghue! She never leaves the phone out of her hand!

Of everything you’ve won, what’s your most cherished medal? Senior club championship with Mullagh…
WH: ????
Where do you keep your medals? On the wall or thrown in a drawer? They are in the drawer for now anyway…

WH: That’s class. Although we heard it was because The Ban was in place in Mullagh until November 2017
And finally Sarah, leave it as it is, or play under hurling rules? Hurling rules for me…
