Name: Yvonne Bonner

Nickname: I've not got a nickname yet

Tell us about where you grew up: I grew up in Glenfin, a small village situated in Donegal in the Northwest of Ireland.

How did you get into football and where, and when was your first game?
I've always had a (Gaelic) football with me since before I can remember, but the first team I played for was my school team Teevog. I was twelve years old when my friend suggested I should come down to my local club Glenfin and play for them. I played that year for the U12 boy’s and the story continues to this day.
