Speaking to GAA.ie ahead of this Sunday\u2019s three All-Ireland ladies football final at Croke Park<\/a>, Costello, who won the PwC Player of the Month for June, says Kerry areimproving all the time this season and have embraced the new playing rules along the way.<\/p>\n\u201cYeah, I do feel like we’re improving,\u201d she said. \u201cSince probably the Cork game in the Munster Championship we’ve been improving every game. I suppose that’s so important, that there’s always learnings every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that’s a big thing this year, that we’re not sitting back. We’re just constantly looking at areas that we can improve. I do think that game by game the trajectory is good.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the new rules suit us. Especially the solo and go, it’s keeping the pace of the game so high. And obviously the three up, it gives the inside forwards probably a bit more space than they had in the last couple of years<\/p>\n
\u201cThe game has completely changed, but all for the better. If you get two or three quick passes up, into the forward line, and you get Siofra (O\u2019Shea) at the end of it, sure it’s brilliant.<\/p>\n
“Every team is really using the new rules and it’s all for the better of the game. It’s improving the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n
On what a win on Sunday at Croker (throw-in 3.45pm) would mean, she added: \u201cOh, it would mean the world. Like, I’ve been playing for Kerry now, for a long time, and, it would mean a lot just to be able to show Mollie, that her mom has done it. That would be lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n
