LONDON CALLS FOR MCCARTHY

After being a regular fixture for Tipperary throughout last year’s championship, 2025 will see Emer McCarthy playing summer football for London.

A business studies student at the University of Limerick with a focus on human resources, McCarthy is on a college placement in London and transferred from Galtee Rovers to the Greenford-based Tir Chonaill Gaels club in January.

She switched counties a month later.

McCarthy could be in line to make her debut for the Exiles when they begin a new adventure in the Ulster junior football championship against Antrim next Saturday.

"We'll be playing Derry the week after that and then hopefully if we win them, we'll be onto the Ulster final.

"We'll have to play the first game and see how it goes."

During the early part of her childhood, McCarthy lived in Whitton, a village in the London Borough of Richmond, where her mother grew up.
