Katie Power (born 1991) is an All-Ireland- and All Star-winning camogie player who plays for Piltown and Kilkenny.
Background[]
The daughter of former Piltown hurler Jim, and former Piltown camogie player Martina (née Brennan), and sister to Martin and Jamie, Power played camogie from a very young age. First tutored by her father, and later by Maura Brennan and Jim Malone, she honed her skills with constant practice and a fierce determination to win.[citation needed]
Katie also participated in athletics, soccer, basketball and Gaelic football as a child but her love for hurling persuaded her to focus on camogie in recent years.[tone][when?]
Camogie career[]
Power earned her first Leinster medal with Kilkenny at U14 in 2003.[citation needed]
Katie made her debut on the Kilkenny Senior team in 2006 and currently[when?] fills the position of centre forward.
In July 2017, Katie's brother Martin won an All-Ireland medal playing in the full forward position on the Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling team.[1]
