Cool Carey unfazed by the challenge as Ireland take on world’s best

Michelle’s dad Kevin Carey also taught physical education in St Mark’s CS, Tallaght and her uncle Larry McCarthy is best known as the current GAA president.“Yeah, one of my grandfathers played golf for Ireland, my other one played football for Wicklow and granny was into camogie,” Carey expands. The girls played U16 Gaelic football for Dublin and the hockey hiatus enforced by Covid allowed them win Dublin junior medals with Ballinteer-St John’s but, when county minor trials clashed with European U18s, hockey became their priority.

The Carey twins’ progress was almost as identical as their appearance until last year when Niamh was injured and missed out on the Olympics. “We went to London in 2018 with my mum and my cousin to watch the group games. I remember thinking I’d love to be on that team. What they were doing was amazing and it also looked so fun. They made it look easy and it’s not.”

The end of a unique five-year Olympic cycle, with an already ageing team, has contributed to massive changes in personnel.
