Personal Profile:

Ciara has always had an interest in sport. Prior to her injury in 2006 she was a National Level swimmer and had just completed a Certificate in Sports Therapy at Crumlin College. So its no surprise at her quick rise within the ranks of the Gaelic Warriors. Ciara was first introduced to wheelchair rugby during Rehab at the National Rehabilitation Centre in Dun Laoighre in 2007. She joined the Gaelic Warriors in 2008 and in just twelve months she has earned a spot on the Irish National Team for the 2009 European Championships in Denmark as a developmental player. The Gaelic Warriors have high hopes for Ciara in the future and anticipate her becoming a key player on the team in future years.
