Having hurled with Kilkenny in the 1940s and 1950s, Shem Downey left an impressive legacy but one that was quickly dwarfed by the achievements of his daughters, Angela and Ann. In 25 years, the girls won 12 All-Ireland camogie medals each and 13 club titles between them. By the end of her career, Angela was commonly recognised as the greatest player the game has seen.
