Niamh Ryan played a pivotal role in Limerick’s All-Ireland Final win but it could have been a different story if she had opted to travel as was her plan at the start of the year.
However, a phone call from Ladies Football manager John Ryan persuaded the centre back to throw her lot in with his side in 2018.
Ryan won an All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie title in 2014 and now has a football medal to add to her collection. A wise decision to play football this year.
