Tipperary camogie legend Ciara Gaynor will appear on this Thursday's episode of TG4's Laochra Gael.
Between 1999 and 2005, Gaynor was a cornerstone of Tipperary's formidable defensive unit, one of the best camogie teams of all time.
A player who won five All-Ireland medals and the Player of the Year award in 2003, Ciara and her team inspired a generation of young Tipperary girls to follow their dreams.
The years of her youth, led by her father Len, stood with Ciara and at nineteen years old she already had her first All-Ireland senior medal.
But after winning the third final in a row, an incident that occurred in her professional life as a Guard put the prospect of her fourth championship in a row in jeopardy.
After the match in 2005, with five Finals under her belt, Ciara announced her retirement. She focused her newfound energy on family life and her lifelong love of horses.
Today Ciara's competitive spirit is embedded in one of the most demanding global sporting events - IRONMAN. Not surprisingly, she qualified for the 2023 World Championships in Hawaii.
The episode will air this coming Thursday, March 7th at 9.30 pm.
