Bríd Reid is a former camogie player, captain of the All Ireland Camogie Championship-winning team in 1959 and, unusually (for the time), returned by air from her honeymoon in England to captain the team to victory.[1]

Career

She won five All Ireland senior medals in 1953, 1954, 1955, 1957 and 1958.[2] She scored a dramatic last minute winning goal for Dublin against Antrim in the 1957 final.
