Aoibhin Cleary: Ankle, Season

Unfortunately, in our clash against Carlton, Cleary sustained a lower leg ankle injury, which has resulted in a left ankle and fibular fracture. 

At the moment, we are going through all the processes to see what management will look like, but unfortunately that will rule her out for the rest of the year.

Baia Pugh: Shoulder, Season 

Another incident in our Round 7 clash saw Pugh receive a hit to her collarbone.

She has gone through surgery over the last few days to put in a new plate. As a result, she will miss the rest of the 2026 season.
