Former Tipperary Ladies Football stars have made the switch smoothly to a new sport and are now key players for their respective sides. 

Anna Rose Kennedy and Cahir’s Aishling Moloney are two of the key players for the Geelong Cats who are into the final four this weekend.

She scored a goal as well as two behinds and was highly influential in their 50-45 win over the Melbourne Demons at the quarter-final stage of the competition.

Waiting in the semi final is Aishling's former Tipp teammate - Orla O'Dwyer - who plays for the Brisbane Lions. The last two ties between them have been won by the Brisbane side, with Orla starring, and another close encounter is expected.
