'The Group We Have Is Quite Unique' -St. Rynagh's Mairead Daly

Thursday, 27 January 2022 17:42

They've a first home tie in a considerable length of time this weekend.

Barrow Rangers will be the opposition for St. Rynaghs, as they look to extend the most successful run in club history. 

The All-Ireland Intermediate champions are on a run for the ages, collecting five Offaly titles, three provincial crowns and a much coveted All-Ireland success, defeating Gailltir earlier this month. 

A shooting drill against Celbridge last weekend saw them rack up 9-12, with 4-3 coming from the hurl of Mairead Daly. 

She said it's been a sharp turn-around speaking to us earlier this week:

The celebrations were nice, but the hardest thing was that we won on the Saturday and we were back training on the Friday.

There was definitely a few cross heads at training. I think we ran without the ball for the first time in two years that night, as well.

We were all fuming over that, but nice to be back into it before Celbridge and now we're back into the swing of it and really looking forward to the semi-final this weekend. 

The management we have is unreal.

They've definitely brought us onto another level and driven us. We have the junior and senior team merged together and everyone is pushing one another, it's absolutely huge. 

I think we're well aware that we are in a really good place and winning five in a row, three Leinster's and an All-Ireland is a massive achievement. 

That game gets underway at 1:30pm this Saturday.
