Bríd Stack ( /ˈbriːɪd stæk/ (born 16 December 1986) [4] is a former All-Ireland winning former ladies' Gaelic footballer. [1] Playing for Cork, she won the All-Ireland Ladies' Gaelic Football Championship 11 times, and was an Ladies' Gaelic Football All Stars Awards 7 times. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] She joined the Greater Western Sydney Giants women's Australian rules football team in 2021, [2] [4] but an injury in a pre-season practice match in January 2021 involving Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff [13] prevented her from playing in the 2021 season. [14] [15]
Gaelic football career
Stack won a record equalling 11 All Star Awards. [1] She was the player of the match of the 2007 All-Ireland Final. She was nominated for RTÉ Sports Person of the Year in 2016. [16]
Australian rules
During a practice match in the 2021 pre-season, Stack collided with Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff, which caused a fractured vertebra for Stack. Marinoff was initially given a three-match suspension, the longest suspension in the competition's history to that point. [17] Commentators such as Kane Cornes and his father, inaugural Crows AFL coach Graham Cornes, suggested that the incident was unavoidable and the club should appeal the decision. [18] Adelaide eventually announced that it would appeal the decision, with the club calling it "grossly disproportionate" and coach Matthew Clarke calling the incident an "unavoidable footy collision". [19] [20] [21] The suspension was eventually overturned by the appeals board after a hearing that lasted more than three hours, allowing Marinoff to play in the opening round of the season. [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] In December 2022, Stack announced her retirement from football. [27]
Personal life
Stack is married to former Cork GAA U-21 player Carthach Keane. They have one son. [2]
