Also on the side were Angela Gill (daughter of Mick Gill who won All-Ireland hurling medals with Galway and Dublin), Mary Casey (a sister of Bill Casey who had won an All-Ireland football medal with Dublin in 1963) and Claire Heffernan (sister of Dublin footballer and later manager Kevin Heffernan).[ citation needed ]
