Clare Conlon
Clare Conlon played with Raheny United [football] and helped them win the Women’s FAI Cup against UCD Waves in the Aviva Stadium Lansdowne Road Nua.
Clare then joined Sarsfields [GAA football] (of Laois) to help them beat Na Fianna (of Dublin) in the Leinster Senior Football Final at Clane GAA Grounds, Co. Kildare.
Super human stuff in fairness.

Speaking of super human stuff

Don”t think its a record as there’s plenty of men and women playing dual sports
good stuff though
Reading it initially I thought she might have played both in the same day or something.
“Clane GAA Grounds”? That would be Conneff Park, Clane. Ah, yes, I remember it well! Community Games where I was always in a heated competition with my classmates for last in the sprint, failed to even reach the high jump bar and managed what must be the shorted long jump on record! Memories :)
Actually, and excellent field for sports, with a good, well maintained surface.
