Aifric Keogh was born in Galway, Ireland in 1992. She’s always loved sport, whether it was watching rugby at the weekends with her family or playing basketball with her friends at school. In secondary school she joined the hockey, basketball and rowing team. She wasn’t very skillful, but her height was a great advantage, especially for basketball and rowing. Aifric loved the social part of sport. She loved going to training after school everyday instead of going home to do hours of homework. Her school, the Jes in Galway, puts great emphasis on extra curricular activities for all it’s students and offers a wide variety of after-school clubs such as golf, soccer, rugby, rowing, basketball, hockey, gaelic football, athletics and even sailing.
