‘It’s full on but 12 days after having him, I was able to return to training’ – Caoimhe Harvey on football after son's arrival

The 23-year-old who plays with West Clare Gaels was due to captain her county this year before she stepped away from the panel in February.

COMMITTMENT: Caoimhe Harvey of Clare. 

Less than two weeks after giving birth to her first child, Caoimhe Harvey was back on the field, training, and three days later she returned to competitive action.

The Clare star is a competitor by nature but even though she missed a TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Championship where the Banner reached the final four, before a narrow loss to the eventual champions, she wouldn’t change it for the world.
