She played for Eoghan Ruadh, featuring in her club's three-in-a-row of 1966-68 and winning an All Ireland Club medal in 1967 and for Dublin in the 1967 and 1968 All Ireland Camogie finals.
Administration[]
She became Leinster provincial secretary in 1971 and was a candidate for secretary of the Camogie Association in 1975.
