Inspirational Sarah Carey on juggling motherhood with intercounty camogie

International Women’s Day is always an occasion for celebrating powerful women. Sarah Carey certainly qualifies for that today, and not just for her brilliant camogie skills.

She is in the last two months of her social care degree at Limerick IT so is juggling her thesis and completing a pile of assignments with training and playing for Limerick, whom she will captain in the Littlewoods Ireland National Camogie League Division One semi-finals on Sunday.

Victory on Mother’s Day would have particular resonance for the 25-year-old Patrickswell defender as she is juggling her finals and elite sport with being a mum to a particularly active toddler.
