When Catriona Carey announced her retirement from the Ireland hockey team aged 28, it came as a shock to those in sporting circles that she was hanging up her boots at the peak of her career.

Former national coach Riet Kuper described Carey as a “talented and sparkling player” who was “able to surprise many opponents with her actions”, adding that her “strong willpower” and “pleasant personality” would be missed from the international scene.
