Kilworth's No.1 fan...



I'm still in Cork and today I'm off to Silversprings to the O'Brien household. Catríona O'Brien, financee of Kilworth's Kieran Walshe and sister of Cork and Nemo's Séan O'Brien is in an ideal position to tell us is there's any difference in training for the inter-county seniors when compared with senior club football. The answer is a resounding NO.
Catríona assembled a panel to discuss the topic - her Mum & Dad and her in-laws to be and over tea and sambos I got blow by blow accounts of what is like to be the girlfriend/fiancee/mother and father of a footballer (and a hurler, which in fact is Kieren's forte)!

Would she wear a jersey? She certainly would - and the team tracksuit, jacket and hairband! This girl goes all-out to support her man and will never complain about his GAA ways as she wants him to be happy...ahhh!
