Cén uair a d’imir tú den chéad uair? Leis an chlub agus mé 10 bliain d’aois
When and where did you first play hurling? Started playing for my club when I was 10 on the U-12 team.
An chomhairle is fearr a fuair tú: Ná géill go dtí an fheadóg dheiridh, obair go crua ar feadh 60/70 bomaite agus gheobhaidh tú an toradh atá tuillte agat.
Best career advice you were given: Never give up until the final whistle has been blown, work hard for 60/70 minutes and you will get the result you deserve.
An scil is tábhachtaí san iomáint: An chéad teagmháil agus léamh an chluiche.
The most important skill in hurling: First touch and your ability to read the game.
Cad é a d’athrófá fán chluiche? Riail an bhuntáiste a úsáid níos minice.
What would you like to change about the game? The referees playing the advantage rule more as it is a contact sport.
Spórt is fearr taobh amuigh den iomáint: Peil agus Sacar
Favourite sport other than hurling: Gaelic football and Soccer
Nuair a bhí mé óg, bhí mé ag iarraidh bheith… i mo shárlaoch nó bhí an-dúil agam i scannáin Marvel.
When I was a child I wanted to be… A superhero as I was obsessed and still am with the Marvel movies.
Cuimhne is fearr ar an pháirc imeartha: Ag baint Chraobh Ard Mhacha anuraidh leis an chlub.
Best hurling memory as a player: Winning last year’s Armagh SHC with a great bunch of lads.
Cuimhne is fearr taobh amuigh den imirt: Tiobraid Árann ag stopadh na gCat 5 Chraobh i ndiaidh a chéile a bhaint. A leithéid de chluiche!
Best hurling memory outside of playing: When Tipperary prevented the Cats from a historic 5 in a row, epic match!
Creid nó ná creid ach tá mé maith ag… Glanadh
You may not know it, but I’m good at… Cleaning

Who is the greatest player you have seen? Has to be King Henry, greatest player in this era. Richie Hogan last year was also brilliant to watch!
Cé a cheannófá ar mhargadh na n-aistrithe? Risteard Ó hÓgáin nó Antaine Ó Ceallaigh, ní thig an óige a chloí
If there was a ‘transfer market’ who would you buy? Richie Hogan or Tony Kelly, you can’t beat the youth

Ar oileán mara, cad é a bheadh uait? Bia agus uisce agus an t-idirlíon le h-amharc ar fhíseáin YouTube
Marooned on a desert island what could you not be without? Food and water for physiological needs and the internet to watch videos on YouTube
I gceann deich mbliana, tá súil agam… bheith ag imirt liom leis an chlub agus leis an chontae, céim máistreachta agam agus teaghlach agam.
In ten years’ time I hope to be… Still playing for my club and county with a Masters degree in HR and a family.
