Shauna Healy, a multiple All-Star and a Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie finalist, is juggling her camogie career, family life, and training.

'The grandparents have been roped in so we're lucky to have them,' said Healy, a multiple All-Star who returned to the Galway camp midway through the Championship. She is surprisingly matter-of-fact about it all, pointing to the example set by numerous female rugby and soccer players who returned to activity relatively quickly after child birth.
'What else would I be doing? ' she shrugged, noting too that Roscommon footballer Laura Mannion won an All-Ireland IFC title at Croke Park last Sunday seven months after having her baby.
