Background

The daughter of former

hurler Jim, and former Piltown camogie player Martina (née Brennan), and sister to Martin and Jamie, Power played camogie from a very young age. First tutored by her father, and later by Maura Brennan and Jim Malone, she honed her skills with constant practice and a fierce determination to win. Katie also participated in athletics, soccer, basketball and Gaelic football as a child but her love for hurling persuaded her to focus on camogie in recent years.

Camogie career

Power earned her first Leinster medal with Kilkenny at U14 in 2003. Katie made her debut on the Kilkenny Senior team in 2006 and currently fills the position of centre forward. In July 2017, Katie's brother Martin won an

medal playing in the full forward position on the Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling team.
