Vicky Carr glad to have famous dad Tommy close at hand

Not many players will get to experience All-Ireland Final day with a family member in 2020, so Carr is delighted to have her father at such close proximity.

Living at home with her county team coach and a strength and conditioning expert meant Westmeath ladies footballer Vicky Carr thrived during the summer lockdown, and she is hoping to enhance the family’s sporting reputation in tomorrow’s TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate final.

Vicky’s father, Tommy Carr, is part of the Westmeath management team led by Sean Finnegan, and they face Meath in tomorrow’s Croke Park encounter. Tommy captained Dublin to the 1992 Leinster title, managed Dublin, Roscommon and Cavan, but has recently turned his focus to the ladies game.
