WHY I ADMIRE HER?
I admire Catriona because she is a very
good player, she never gives up and she
works very hard at all aspects of the
game.
She is also very fair and she is an
excellent coach.
I was lucky enough to meet Catriona at
the She’s Ace tournament in Mayo
where she held a coaching session and
she was kind enough to pass on a lot of
her handball knowledge and tips to us.
