Lámh Dhearg Ladies Celebrate 20th Anniversary
The GAA, Ireland's national sporting organisation, prides itself on its community ethos, which has led to significant growth in recent years.
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) was launched in 1974, and since then, girls and ladies have been breaking down barriers and earning recognition for their skills.
- The LGFA has been instrumental in promoting women's football.
- Lámh Dhearg, a renowned GAA club in West Belfast, has been involved with the LGFA for 20 years.
The biggest growth in recent years has come directly as a result of this inclusive comradery which launched the LGFA back in 1974.
Aisling McConville, a Lámh Dhearg LGFA stalwart, shared her experiences, including training with the boys' squad in the 1990s due to a lack of female teams.
