It's more than two years since Mairéad Daly pulled on the Offaly shirt, but with a second ACL recovery behind her, the St Rynagh’s forward is aiming to inspire a revival in the county’s football fortunes.
Her last time to feature for the Faithful County came in the snow of Storm Freya in 2019, a match against Kildare that was abandoned due to the brutal conditions.
Since then, her father, Garry, has taken change of the county team, but she missed out on so much during her recuperation.
The dual club player sat out all of Offaly’s League and Championship action in 2020, while she also watched on as her St Rynagh’s team-mates ran out in Croke Park for the All-Ireland Camogie Intermediate final.
