Donegal and Adelaide Crows player Amy Boyle Carr
Amy Boyle Carr made a winning debut to her AFLW career as the Adelaide Crows crushed Essendon 62-29 at Thomas Farms Oval.
The multi-talented Carr, who earned her passage Down Under on the back of her exploits for Donegal in the GAA realm and who has been capped in the international sphere by the Republic of Ireland in soccer, recorded seven disposals - four kicks and three handballs - as well as two tackles.
From the Irish town of Donegal to debutant in two short months, the Crows have struck AFLW gold with rookie Amy Boyle-Carr. Compatriot Niamh Kelly has not only taken her under her wing but also under her roof. #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/civ68xlo6P

The Brisbane Lions go into next week's top-of-the-table clash with Adelaide on the back of a victory after a dominant 61-16 win over the West Coast Eagles.
