To go to the other side of the world and thrive in a new sport is something many athletes would struggle to do, but that's exactly what Áine McDonagh has done.
The Galway footballer, who has also played basketball for NUIG Mystics, has 10 goals in eight games for AFLW side Hawthron, in only her second season in Australia.
While Áine admits this young side is very much developing, a big part of their progress has been seen in the Galway women. Speaking to Breakingnews, she claims the work she put in following her first season has been shown in her performances in this campaign. "I think it was just about getting more comfortable with the game.
Last year, I had only come out six weeks before the season started, and then I had a bit of an injury so then I missed the opening games.
