When it comes to reaching the final stages of the TG4 All-Ireland junior football championship, Louth’s Kate Flood knows more than most what is required.

Having been part of the sides that lost third-tier showpieces at Croke Park to Limerick and Antrim in 2010 and 2012 respectively, Flood chipped in with a 1-2 haul as Louth finally got their hands on the West County Hotel Cup in 2015 – courtesy of an emphatic victory against Scotland.
