The LGFA’s 2021 footballer of the year Vikki Wall has returned to the Meath squad ahead of Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry. Wall has been absent from the squad all year as she pursued her ambition of making the Irish Olympic rugby sevens team. But she missed out when the squad for Paris was announced last month, freeing her up again to rejoin Meath. She accepted an invitation to put herself in the frame for Paris last September and made her debut against Japan in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in January. Wall had previously played for AFLW side North Melbourne in 2022, having completed back to-back All-Ireland titles for Meath.
