Abbie Larkin etched her name into history this week.
Born in 2005 — feel old yet? — she’s now the youngest player to play for Ireland at a major tournament.
It’s one of several lovely moments in an interview two days after she etched her name into history and impressed as a second-half substitute at Sydney’s Stadium Australia.“I was actually really nervous,” Larkin reflects. “Coming out alongside Lucy [Quinn], you just heard the fans screaming and I am thinking, ‘Oh my God’. The biggest I have played in is at Tallaght, never mind 75,000 people. It was mad.
From the general buzz to the reaction to her introduction from the bench against the Matildas, Larkin has been sent many videos from home by her family and friends. Her parents are in Down Under — “they wouldn’t miss it” — with others flying the flag as they watched on together in Ringsend.
