Laochra Gael continues with the story of Waterford footballer, Áine Wall. She came to the fore with her club, Ballymacarbry, but it was with the county that she became a star. With Áine spearheading the attack, Waterford won five All Irelands in the 90s, bringing unprecedented success to the Déise faithful.

On top of that, as a result of the heroics of Áine and her friends, the sport, which had never even been broadcast when she started out, gained attention and respect - one of the greatest ever footballers, who revolutionised Ladies Football.
