Yet another cricketer from a crop of internationals produced by Pembroke Cricket Club, Orla is widely recognised as an exciting prospect. A triple threat, Orla could be picked for either her batting or her bowling, but her two skills together, along with brilliance in the field, make her a stand out.

Orla is the definition of an athlete. Fast, agile and strong, she encapsulates everything this Irish team wants to be.

Since making the difficult decision to choose cricket over football, it is clear Prendergast made the right choice. A genuinely quick bowler who elicits prodigious movement in to the right hander, it’s her batting that has taken centre stage of late as she has showcased her mix of style and power.
