I would be a professional dancer or the Bard of Armagh because of my poetry skills

Kelly Mallon by a country mile, the hair has to be ‘on fleek’

Who’s the best/worst person to share a room with on away trips?

Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus?

Best: Aoife McCoy because she shares her Haribos with me and Katie Daly because she plays games with me to pass the time Worst: Some of the older folk on the team, you wouldn’t get much craic out of them

If there was a transfer market who’d be in and who’d be out of the team?

Caroline O’Hanlon would be out because she gives me serious bad manners and mocks my accent. I’d have to take up Cora Staunton, she’s unstoppable.
