Career

[edit]

O'Carroll arrived on to the scene when she scored 0-2 from full-back in the 2008 junior club championship. She once managed to score three points in the same game during a Tipperary camogie league win over her club rivals, a rare feat for a full-back in the modern game.[2] O'Carroll has various Junior and Junior B accolades with her club, as well as league titles and she was often a substitute. O'Carroll was injured when her club won the 2009 league but returned in time for the club championships.[citation needed] She went onto score a decisive block against her opponent, then another one as her club went all the way to the junior final. Sue finished the game on the bench after being stretchered off with an abdominal injury.[citation needed] Sue played for UCD in her young days, and helped them with coaching during that time and continued afterwards when she had left. However, she did not have much success during the time where she was involved with them, though they later had some success since she departed. She has also taken on administrative work within the sport.
