A graduate of Dominican College Sion Hill, in County Dublin,[1] McDonald made her international debut at the 1988 World Cup in Australia.[2] She went on to play in all nine of her team's matches, but managed only two wickets overall, the least of any specialist Irish bowler.[3] Her tournament bowling average of 115.50 was only surpassed by Chantal Grevers of the Netherlands, who had an average of 121.50.[4] McDonald had greater success in her three other ODI appearances, all of which came at the 1989 European Championship in Denmark. She took 2/32 in the first match against Denmark, which she followed with a career-best 2/18 against the Netherlands.[2] McDonald was 26 at the time of her last match, and finished her ODI career with a bowling average of 54.83.[1]

Personal life

McDonald married Jonathan Garth, a member of the Irish men's side.[5] Their daughter, Kim Garth, has also represented Ireland in cricket.[6] Their sons play club cricket.[7]
