In this episode of the Her Sport Show, we had the privilege of chatting with Mary Waldron, a former member of the Irish Women's Cricket National Team, who just announced her retirement. We encourage you to watch the video version of the podcast on Spotify or YouTube to see the images Jess and Mary are referring to.

Mary takes a trip down memory lane as she looks back through old photographs from her time on the Irish Women's Cricket National Team back. We follow Mary as she delves into her love for the sport of cricket, the lessons she has learned and the experiences she has gained.
