19 Aoife Byrne

I’m currently playing Gaelic football with Kiltubrid ladies, having won the senior county championship the past 2 years. I started college this year (2015) and with that, I was eager to start a new sport. I joined the UCD women’s rugby team and it has been the best decision I’ve made to date. The adrenaline and physicality of the game is something I relish. As well as that the sport has introduced me to some lifelong friendships. My rugby career is only beginning and I can’t wait to experience what is yet to come.
