But the next few months will be a delicate juggling act as she combines virtual county training with her Leaving Certificate preparations.
Since helping Meath win the TG4 Intermediate All-Ireland title in December, Duggan turned her main focus to home schooling and unpicking the doubts surrounding this year’s state exams.

Meath manager Eamonn Murray praised his side’s level-headed reaction to the concession of three early goals, as Meath put consecutive TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Final defeats behind them and overpowered Westmeath in a storming second-half display at Croke Park.
Lucy McCartan’s two goals and a third from Anna Jones saw Westmeath race into an early lead but Murray’s side showed their big-day experience and gradually chipped away at the deficit and ran out worthy champions.
Losses to Tyrone and Tipperary in the last two finals haunted Meath for the last couple of seasons, but after Bridgetta Lynch and Vikki Wall hit the net before half time, a classy free-taking display from Emma Duggan got them over the line in an impressive final quarter.
