When Lorraine Scanlon was selected at midfield on the 2017 All-Star ladies football team, hers wasn’t the first All-Star to be carried across the front door of the Scanlon household. That honour had fallen to her mother, Mary, exactly 30 years earlier.

“It was nice to level her on that one,” Lorraine quipped this week of matching her mother’s 1987 All-Star win.
