Niamh Corrigan

Niamh files the matchday copy. She opens on the one thing that decided the game, whether that is a goal, a substitution or a defender getting away with something, and then gives you the rest in order. Twelve seasons of covering games in front of thirty thousand people have left her unmoved by an atmosphere and very interested in a full-back being asked to do two jobs at once. She is generous about goalkeepers and unsentimental about strikers.
