Athlete Profile: Isobel Joyce Finds Comfort in Coaching

Ireland's Isabel Joyce retired from international cricket at the end of last season and has already been signed up as  the Director of Coaching at Clontarf Cricket Club in Dublin where she will have overall responsibility for all the teams. Cricket is in his genes and with all four siblings including her twin sister Cecilia, and her husband John Anderson playing the game there was never any doubt that this popular all rounder would transition from playing to coaching again and having already served as head coach at Dublin University - Trinity. She earned her first cap for Ireland in 1999 and has kept the team in 62 matches across all formats of the game including two ICC Women's World 2020 tournaments. Isobel also spent some winter seasons in Australia playing for the Hobart Hurricanes and she's also played for the railway union team that won the women's Irish Hockey League title and says she enjoys the contrast of coaching both sports now. Chris Stafford caught up with Izzy during a break from coaching her school hockey team.
