When and where did you first start playing hurling? At home in the garden when I was 5 or 6, didn’t make it into Banagher for club training until I was 10 or 11.

Biggest influence on your hurling career: My parents, Tom and Helen and my brother Stephen.

What sportsperson would you most like to meet? Aaron Rodgers or Cristiano Ronaldo

What is the hardest part of your sporting life? Trying to find the time to do all the little things that make a difference – recovery, nutrition, gym work – and balancing that with work and other commitments.

Toughest player to mark in training? We’ve such an impressive set of forwards I couldn’t narrow it down to one…

Who is the ‘joker’ on the panel? I’d say Dan Kelleher or Chris McDonald, them Brosna Gaels boys are awful messers!

One thing you may not know about me…… I had to be forced to play hurling when I was younger, my parents made me pick between playing the guitar, swimming or hurling. I haven’t a note in my head, I’d sink like a rock but I reckon the hurling isn’t turning out too bad.
