Laochra Gael
Bríd Stack
Season 23 of 8
A focus on Bríd Stack, a former Cork ladies footballer who played during a period when Cork dominated ladies football through the noughties. 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. Unfortunately Bríd suffered a bad 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
Laochra Gael airs on TG4 HD at 3:25 AM, Friday 28 February. (Subtitles, repeat.)
