INTERVIEW 10 | WINTER 2021 | www.ladiesgaelic.ie wouldn't be getting recognised on the street, it's the impact that we would have had." Wall has been in demand ever since her sensational performance in the history- making 1-11 to 0-12 victory over Dublin at Croke Park on 5 September. And that culminated in an appearance on Ryan Tubridy's Friday night show where Wall was joined by teammates Katie Newe, Emma Duggan and Máire O'Shaughnessy. "Going in with the girls was lovely, it was a really enjoyable experience," said Wall. "Like that, you are not just doing anything by yourself. If you are going to do those type of interviews, the majority of it is with someone off the team so they are nice moments as well." It was the latest in a long line of unforgettable memories for the current crop of Meath footballers, who battled through the hardest of times and now find themselves at the pinnacle of the game. Picking up eight All-Stars was another phenomenal achievement and after her brilliant display in the final, following another outstanding campaign, Wall was voted the 2021 TG4 Senior Players' Player of the Year at the annual All-Star banquet at Dublin's Bonnington Hotel. "It was class, unreal. Eight of us, it was a great evening," said Wall. "I remember when Monica McGuirk got nominated we were like 'that's class,' when she got it obviously it was outrageous but for eight of us to get it was definitely a distant dream. "For me, I don't think it has settled in. We are still in season with the club and everything.
