Bríd Stack

Bríd Stack, a former Cork ladies footballer who played during a period when Cork dominated ladies football through the 00's. She was a central figure on that team and Bríd's number of All-Ireland medals amounted to 11. After she announced her retirement, the AFLW showed interest in her and she, along with her husband and son, decided to move to Australia to pursue another sporting career. Unfortunately, Bríd suffered a horrific injury in a pre-season competition in her first year, leaving her on the sidelines with a broken vertebra in her back. Bríd has also spoken openly about miscarriages she has suffered and the importance of sport during those difficult periods, she understands that so many women, including some of her friends, may also be struggling to conceive.
