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, young girls and ladies have been breaking down barriers and earning recognition for their skills.

Lámh Dhearg, a renowned GAA club in West Belfast, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary of involvement in the LGFA.

Aisling McConville, a stalwart of Lámh Dhearg's LGFA, shared her experiences, including training with the boy's squad in the 1990s due to the lack of options for girls.

Aisling's story highlights the progress made by the LGFA and the dedication of clubs like Lámh Dhearg to promoting women's Gaelic football.
