The arrival of son Ciabhan four years ago could have marked the end of her inter-county career, ditto the serious knee injury she suffered in 2017, but the Foxrock-Cabinteely midfielder is as determined and hard-working as she is skilful.

Ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland ladies football championship final against Cork at Croke Park, Connolly is the latest Dublin footballer to be profiled in AIG’s video series around the county’s teams.

Becoming a mother has given her new perspective on life, and the strong support system around Connolly has allowed her to continue to flourish in a sky-blue jersey.
