Her favourite memory in cricket was winning the last qualifying spot for the 2014 ICC WWT20 by beating The Netherlands in Dublin in 2013.
Before taking up cricket, Mary played soccer at the top level, representing Ireland at senior level twice and numerous times at different youth levels. Waldron is also a keen cricket umpire and hopes to umpire a test match and World Cup final. Her idols are Julia Price and Charlotte Edwards and if she could choose three players to join her team they would be Jhulian Goswami, Nicole Bolton and Chloe Tryon.
