The Kilkenny player retired after a decorated career last year

Three-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny, Miriam Walsh says she looks back on her inter-county career 'with a big smile' following the announcement of her retirement last year.

The Tullaroan club player bowed out with three All-Ireland medals, three All-Stars and as PWC Camogie Player of the Year in 2022 and spoke to the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast earlier this year.

"It was easy for me to make my decision with my two cruciate injuries but, at the same time, I did reach the pinnacle so I look back on my career now with a big smile,” Walsh admitted.

"I don’t think I appreciated it at all at the time but now is the time to reflect and just be grateful of the journey. Sport is all about the highs and lows, plenty of lows but highs as well," she added.
