It’s a game that could go down to the wire: Ciara Trant

Sunday's All-Ireland Ladies SFC final can't come quick enough for Dublin goalkeeper Ciara Trant.

The Jackies face Galway in the battle for the Brendan Martin Cup (4.0) in the main attraction of the triple-header in Croke Park.

"Galway are a good side. I think it’s a game that could go down to the wire. It should be a very entertaining game," said Dublin keeper Ciara Trant.

“It’s going to be a great day in Croke Park with the three games. Galway will bring a massive crowd with them.“And, hopefully, Dublin will get out the numbers again.

“Obviously, we are focused on producing a performance, but we all want to see another special day for ladies’ football in Croke Park."

Ciara has experience both the good days and bad in the Dublin jersey.She was involve in the losing All-Ireland finals of 2015 and 2016 before defeating Mayo in the decider 12 months later.

“I know people say that defeat makes you hungry to achieve, but when we won in 2017 that made me hungrier than any defeat,” said Ciara.

“Winning is a habit. It’s addictive. It’s a high you chase. Every intercounty footballer is chasing the feeling of winning the All-Ireland.”

"We have known the flip side of success. And in fairness to Mick (Bohan) and the management team, they have been great at getting us to enjoy our success.

“And to savour it as much as we can.

“It’s important to celebrate your achievements. And we do that without getting distracted by the dread of pre-season training.

“We know the hard work has to start eventually.

“Once the football starts back in January, we park the previous season. And it’s then full steam ahead for the rest of the season.”
