Personal life

Burke was born in Dublin, Ireland. [2] [3]

Career

She made her international debut for the Green Army in 1995. She earned her first senior cap during a test match against China. [2]

During her career, she represented the squad at a number of major tournaments, including the 1999 EuroHockey Championship in Cologne, the 2000 FIH Olympic Qualifiers in Milton Keynes, the 2001 Intercontinental Cup in Amiens and Abbeville, and the 2002 FIH World Cup in Perth. [3] [4]

Following the FIH World Cup, Burke announced her retirement from international hockey. [5] She was later convinced by national coach, Riet Kuper, to return to the national squad for the 2003 EuroHockey Championship in Barcelona. [6] [7] This sparked controversy, however, as Burke's return was conditional on the basis of leaving the tournament to attend a wedding, which resulted in her missing the team's 1–1 draw against Ukraine. [8]

After her international return, she served as vice-captain of the squad until her retirement in 2005. During this period, she represented the side at the 2004 FIH Olympic Qualifiers in Auckland, before making her final international appearances at the 2005 EuroHockey Championships in her home town of Dublin. [9] [10] [11]

At the time of her retirement, she was Ireland's second most capped international woman, with 161 appearances for the national team, as well as scoring over 50 goals. [11]
