Speaking after she announced her retirement news on Sunday, she told RTÉ Sport: "How lucky am I?"

"I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead.
"I was determined to walk off on my own two feet. It was going to be my last time in Croke Park. Bit of rehab ahead I think."

‘Screamed at her 100 times' – Nicole Owens makes hilarious jibe at Dublin teammate after All-Ireland victory
Nicole Owens admits that maybe one of her teammates were in a better position than her before her goal HAVING A ROWE 'Screamed at her 100 times' – Nicole Owens makes hilarious jibe at Dublin teammate after All-Ireland victory NICOLE Owens ended her Dublin career in fairy tale like fashion but still had a bone to pick with one of her teammates. The Dubs were far too strong for Meath in the final beating them 2-16 to 0-10 in convincing fashion to claim the Brendan Martin Cup for the seventh time. Advertisement 2 Dublin have won six of the last nine All-Ireland titles including four-in-a-row 2 Carla Rowe was certain Owens would bury the goal chance and she was right Owens scored the first goal of the afternoon early in the first half to put Dublin five points ahead of Meath before the Royals even had a flag raised. The St Sylvesters star made a marauding run off the shoulder of Carla Rowe to get into the position to put the Liffeysiders into an early commanding lead. Rowe was given the difficult task of evading a tackle from Meath full-back Mary-Kate Lynch before picking out her teammate in space. Owens then powered the ball past a helpless Robyn Murray into the goal in front of a roaring Davin stand. Advertisement Despite forcing the umpire to raise the green flag, the 2017 All-Star forward was still unhappy with the service from Rowe. The Dublin captain who created the chance had celebrated before the ball had even left the boot of her teammate with her arms aloft. When speaking to OffTheBall, Owens was asked were Rowe's premature celebrations helpful. The six-time All-Ireland winner joked: "Nice of her to back me there, took her long enough to give me the ball. Advertisement "This is probably the first dents in the voice was probably screaming at Carla about a hundred times. "Which is funny because if you watch it back, Hetho (Niamh Hetherton) actually is ahead of me and should've got it. TJ Reid and wife Niamh de Brun's gorgeous pregnancy reveal "Hetho becomes an unbelievable decoy run then. So yeah no look, delighted she backed me to put it in. "You see it all the time, people celebrating goals, like NFL players celebrating before they go over the line and stuff. Advertisement "By the time Carla gave me the ball, I didn't have much time to think about it. "It was almost like, get it out of my hands onto my foot before I got cleaned by someone. Yeah special that." The 32-year-old revealed she considered retiring last season after suffering her second torn ACL in 2022 before an achilles problem further hampered her progress last season. But Owens was coaxed to stay on and win her sixth All-Ireland to bow out at the top. Advertisement Owens said: 'I was on the fence about coming back or not this year and I think I was in a bad way starting. "I think it speaks to this team, a few of the girls I would have chatted to, Paul and Derek would have been on to me. 'I was in a really bad way at the start of this year. They just kind of put an arm around me and got me back in."

I captained my county to All-Ireland glory on Sunday – now I'm getting married, GAA ace's dream week
They had to do it the hard way in Croke Park too HAPPY DAYS I captained my county to All-Ireland glory on Sunday – now I'm getting married, GAA ace's dream week AINE Breen's already made one lifelong memory this week having captained Louth to All-Ireland glory - but she now has the small matter of getting married on Friday to immediately focus on. The Wee County skipper laid out how hectic of a seven-day schedule she's in the thick of while reflecting on their win in Sunday's Junior decider. Advertisement She told The Irish Independent of how the entire team were particularly elated at the weekend as they'd come up short in the 2024 decider. She reflected: 'As I mentioned in my speech, it's an honour to play with your county and to represent your county. "But to lift a cup on the Hogan Stand is always a dream of any child or anyone that plays with their county…it's fantastic. 'You talk about the burden of being captain, but I think the management and the players themselves made it so much easier because there are so many leaders on that pitch." Advertisement A points deluge sparked by Katie Flood helped Louth claim a record fourth All-Ireland JFC crown on the day. With the Wee County one point ahead at the interval in the final, Flood added to her 0-3 tally to double her side's lead with a superb strike shortly after the restart. Scores from Breen, Mia Duffy and Lucy White would give Louth a five-point cushion, which Antrim failed to overturn despite three points on the bounce from Ana Mulholland, Theresa Mellon and Maria O'Neill. Louth manager Kevin Larkin later praised his players for recovering from a four-point deficit in the first half to claim the title. Advertisement He said: 'What a group to work with. All of Ireland has seen it there. Penalty, four points down and the girls just kept going, kept going. They're just a brilliant group.' Antrim, also bidding to become the first county to win the TG4 All-Ireland junior title four times, hit the ground running with a third-minute penalty from captain Bronagh Devlin. TJ Reid and wife Niamh de Brun's gorgeous pregnancy reveal Shortly after, Theresa Mellon split the posts for the Ulster side — and even though Louth eventually opened their account through Aoife Russell, a score from Omolara Dahunsi reinforced Antrim's early authority. Dahunsi found her range again in response to back-to-back points from Russell and Ceire Nolan. But it was the Wee County who went into the interval ahead 0-8 to 1-4. Advertisement And Louth's second-half points blitz was enough to secure the crown, with Saffrons boss Chris Scullion lamenting the chances that his side had scorned. He said: 'There was a couple of opportunities presented to ourselves. But I'm not taking anything away from Louth. Louth were brilliant today.' 1 They triumphed over Antrim by 0-13 to 1-08 LOUTH: R Lambe Fagan; R Beirth, E Hand, E Murray; H Lambe Sally, S McLaughlin 0-1, L Byrne; A Breen 0-2, A Halligan; L White 0-1, E Byrne 0-1, S Matthews; A Russell 0-2, K Flood 0-4, C Nolan 0-1.
